The Slaughter of the Suitors, N. C. Wyeth Odyssey Framed Print (1929)
The host has come home, and dinner is over. For years the suitors took the wine, the house and the silence for granted. Now the stranger holds the bow and the doors matter.
Homer's homecoming has teeth. This is for someone who finally came back to settle what was owed.
Ready to hang: an 8 × 10 in framed print in a white or black wood frame. At home in a study or den, or as a gift for someone who has reclaimed what was theirs.
