Bernard Schultze's exploration of ancient literature culminates in this informal painting from his late work. The colorful intertwining hills, which reveal a view of a rising smoke element with mountain ranges and sky in the upper half, refer to the island of Aiaia, where the sorceress Circe lives. While, according to Homer, the Greek hero Odysseus spends a year on the island, the female figure Medea in the Argonaut saga is Circe's niece and visits the place with Iason after conquering the golden fleece.
