Morning
Légende
This early 1900s illustration accompnied a book on Homer and his epic Odyssey for young girls and boys. It shows Morning, or rosy-fingered dawn as Homer (fl. c. 700 B.C.) called that time period, rising with her companions in the sky. Homer, throughout the Odyssey and also the iliad, uses repetitively epithets such as rosy-fingered to modify and enhance nouns. Rosy-fingered, here, is also a metaphor as dawn is not a person and does not have fingers.
