"Achilles Dodo" is a painting that embodies the theme of hubris. It juxtaposes the legendary Greek warrior Achilles with the symbol of an extinct flightless bird, the dodo—both representing excessive pride and vulnerability. The image invites reflection on the irony of a mighty hero, whose pride made him invincible in battle, yet he is brought low by a single, unexpected arrow from Paris. The dodo, once thought invulnerable in its isolated world, mirrors Achilles’ tragic fall, making a poignant statement about the fragility of greatness. "Achilles Dodo" is my latest watercolor painting being released as a limited edition print. Grab one here 👉 https://www.victorgrasso.com/product-page/achillies-dodo
