Also known as 'An end of an Odyssey'. 'Rather a puzzle but this is an attempt to paint two pictures on the same surface. Penelope is weaving, Telemachus is firing his bow, Melanthe is pouring wine, and being hanged in the courtyard, and Odysseus and a suitor can be made out.' (PBB, 1987). Note the very tight exact use of squares in order to build the moire effect.
