Odyssey Ship Tee — Homer's Galley | Palimpsest
"Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many turns."
The black ship of the Homeric world — a fifty-oared galley with ram bow, brailed square sail, and steering oar astern, the kind that carried Odysseus across the wine-dark sea. Drawn flat in the old Geometric vase-painting style, the way the Greeks themselves pictured their ships.
The design: the galley under sail with the poem's famous opening line in the original Greek and English on the chest — ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, μοῦσα / Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many turns — and the complete ten-line opening of the Odyssey on the back, Homer's Greek beside A. T. Murray's translation. Printed on sea-dark shirts so the gold shines.
