"The Odyssey" by John Flaxman is a series of neoclassical illustrations created to accompany the epic poem "The Odyssey" by the ancient Greek poet Homer. John Flaxman (1755–1826) was an influential English sculptor and draughtsman, renowned for his linear, monochromatic style that became emblematic of the neoclassical movement. His illustrations for "The Odyssey" were commissioned in the late 18th century and first published in 1805. These works are celebrated for their clarity, elegance, and adherence to classical ideals, reflecting Flaxman's deep understanding of ancient Greek art and literature.

Flaxman's illustrations for "The Odyssey" consist of a series of line engravings that depict key scenes from the epic narrative. These images are characterized by their simplicity and precision, often focusing on the essential elements of the story without extraneous detail. This approach not only highlights the dramatic moments of the tale but also aligns with the neoclassical emphasis on harmony, proportion, and restraint. Flaxman's work was widely praised for its ability to convey complex emotions and actions through minimalistic yet expressive lines.

The illustrations were initially created as part of a larger project that included similar works for Homer's "Iliad" and other classical texts. Flaxman's "Odyssey" illustrations were influential in both the art and literary worlds, contributing to the revival of interest in classical antiquity that characterized the neoclassical period. They were also instrumental in establishing Flaxman's reputation as a leading artist of his time.

Flaxman's "Odyssey" illustrations have been reproduced in various editions of the epic and continue to be studied for their artistic and historical significance. They offer a unique visual interpretation of Homer's work, bridging the gap between ancient literature and neoclassical art.
