This wonderful illustration for Homer's Odyssey shows Odysseus in the court of Alcinous, King of the Phaeacians. Odysseus has not revealed his identity to the Phaeacians, but when the bard begins to sing a song of Odysseus's own adventures at Troy, he cannot help but begin to weep, covering his face as you can see below.
