In Odysseus' footsteps: a mythological tour of the Museo del Prado

Before Odysseus meets the Cyclops Polyphemus, hears the song of the Sirens and returns to Ithaca, numerous events will unfold that determine his fate. The birth of the gods of Olympus, the dispute between Aphrodite, Athena and Hera, the abduction of Helen and the Trojan War are the prologue to the great journey described by Homer. We invite you to follow this path through the rooms of the Museo del Prado and contemplate the story of Odysseus through the canvases of the great masters. Few will be able to see Christopher Nolan's new «Odyssey» as it was conceived. By contrast, this epic has been on display at the Prado in maximum resolution for centuries.
