Inspired By Homer: 20 Pieces Of Greek Mythology Art And Swag
With Madeline Miller’s new book Circe and that EXCELLENT translation of The Odyssey by Emily Wilson, I think we can all agree that Homer is having a moment again in literature. (But when you’ve lasted this long, I don’t think “moment” is the right word anymore.) If you love the Homeric myths as much as I do, there’s plenty of ways to show it—on your walls and in your swag. When it comes to Greek mythology art, there’s a lot out there. (Like this $3,500 sketch of Circe from Salvador-freakin-Dali himself.)
Put your wallets away (or don’t) and enjoy this Greek mythology art and swag.
