"Ulysse Reconnu Par Sa Nourrice Euryclee" is a 19th-century painting by French artist Edouard Pils, created in 1848. The artwork illustrates a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey," where the hero Odysseus (Ulysses in Latin) is recognized by his old nurse Eurycleia. This recognition occurs upon his return to Ithaca after a prolonged absence of twenty years, during which he fought in the Trojan War and endured a long and arduous journey home.

In the scene depicted by Pils, Eurycleia identifies Odysseus by a scar on his leg that he received during a boar hunt in his youth. The moment is charged with emotion as Eurycleia must contain her surprise and joy to avoid alerting the suitors who have overrun Odysseus's household in his absence. Pils's work captures the tension and intimacy of this reunion, emphasizing themes of loyalty, identity, and the hardships of Odysseus's long journey.

Edouard Pils (1821–1875) was a French historical painter known for his scenes from history and literature. He studied under François-Édouard Picot and later became a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Pils's painting of Ulysse and Eurycleia is an example of his skill in portraying dramatic narrative moments, and it reflects the 19th-century academic art tradition's focus on classical subjects and meticulous attention to detail.

The painting is significant for its representation of a key narrative from classical antiquity, and it contributes to the visual legacy of "The Odyssey" in Western art. "Ulysse Reconnu Par Sa Nourrice Euryclee" is an important work within Pils's oeuvre and offers insight into the 19th-century French academic art movement and its engagement with classical literature.
