Women's Odyssey

Travel around the Mediterranean to meet the female characters of Homer's Odyssey. From Penelope, the ideal woman, to the monsters Odysseus faces, we invite you to gain a better understanding of these archetypes of femininity that have left their mark on Western culture. How have these women, nymphs, goddesses and monsters been represented over the centuries in the visual arts, literature, film, comics and video games? What do the interpretations and reinterpretations of their myths say about the era that produced them? A web series directed by Margaux Brugvin, now available on Art Explora Academy.
