Terracotta oinochoe (jug) ca. 430-420 B.C. Attributed to the Disney Painter Archer, probably OdysseusIn the Odyssey, Homer recounted the homecoming of the Greek hero Odysseus after years of wandering at the end of the Trojan War. He found his house filled with suitors for the hand of his wife, Penelope, and managed single-handedly to kill them with his powerful bow and arrows. The archer on this vase probably can be identified as Odysseus, because of his obviously unkempt hair, an indication of the vicissitudes the hero had undergone. Moreover, a similar figure appears on several more complete ancient representations of the scene..
