Odyssseus and the Sirens 

This drawing depicts the mythical Greek hero Odysseus resisting the allure of the Sirens. Victor Müller, a German artist born in 1830, captures this scene from Homer's *Odyssey* with a dynamic, expressive style. The image's emphasis on lines and forms suggests a sense of urgency and struggle, mirroring Odysseus's desperate attempt to navigate the treacherous waters and escape the Sirens' seductive songs. The work, currently housed in the Städel Museum, is a powerful reminder of the enduring themes of temptation, resilience, and human will found in classical literature.
