About this photo

On the way to Sperlonga, our first stop is the Archaeological Museum of Sperlonga, also nicknamed the Ulysses Museum, in homage to the legends surrounding this place.


This photo shows one of the museum's highlights: the reconstruction of the sculpted group of Scylla, inspired by the episode from the Odyssey in which Odysseus attempts to escape the many-headed sea creature.


The dynamism of the bodies, the tension of the lines, and the frozen chaos of the battle are testament to the genius of the Rhodian sculptors who worked here in the 1st century. These fragments, found in the neighboring cave, evoke the full power of the mythology, staged in the sumptuous villa of Emperor Tiberius.
