<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 380449, member: 5833&quot;]They are the same person: Odysseus is the Greek name; Ulysses is Roman.&nbsp; I&#039;m not evaluating the iconographical accuracy of the depiction, just saying how it is known in Wedgwood literature.&nbsp; If you want to find others, that&#039;s the name to use.&nbsp; The style is neoclassical; it is not copied from an ancient Greek or Roman gem.&nbsp; Many Wedgwood designs are copied from Poniatowski gems, but this does not seem to be one of them, nor can I find it among John Flaxman&#039;s illustrations for the Iliad.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t been able to establish it as an episode in Homer (or Virgil; &#039;Aeneas&#039; is also getting me nowhere) at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
