Ulysses and the Sirens by John William Waterhouse Latte Mug
Ulysses and the Sirens (1891) by JW Waterhouse is a vintage Victorian Pre-Raphaelite fine art mythological painting.
In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Seirenes) were Naiads, or sea nymphs, who lived on an island called Sirenum scopuli which was surrounded by rocks and cliffs. Approaching sailors were drawn to them by their enchanting singing, causing them to sail on the cliffs and drown.
Odysseus escaped the Sirens by having all his sailors plug their ears with beeswax and tie him to the mast. He was curious as to what the Sirens sounded like. When he heard their beautiful song, he ordered the sailors to untie him but they ignored him. When they had passed out of earshot, Odysseus stopped thrashing about and calmed down, and was released.

What better way to start the day than a cup of coffee with Pluto's perky attitude?
The mug is a good weight, and the finish is pawsitively high quality. The print is rich in colour and true to the image of this internet sensation!

The latte mug is a really great size. Fits my Davids tea filter perfectly! All images look stretched vertically but its probably because of the mug shape which is tall and tapered.

this is a lovely design that I have used to gift the nurses in the Care Centre where I live. They have expressed their appreciation of the pretty design on the Mugs.
