"Telemachus doodt Adrastus" is an etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke, created in 1775. The scene depicts a dramatic moment from the epic poem "Telemachus" by French author François Fénelon. Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, is shown slaying Adrastus, a character associated with deceit and treachery. Fokke’s etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the intensity of the moment through meticulous detail and dramatic composition, conveying the moral themes of Fénelon’s text in a visually engaging way.
