Odysseus arriving at Aeaea, the island the goddess sorceress Circe ruled.
I have another version of him, bit this is my favourite. I like him to look like a travelled and weathered sailor. In fact I think he should look more weathered after several years lost in the sea...

PAINTED MUMMY PORTRAITS OF EGYPTIANS DURING THE ROMAN PERIOD
The painted mummy portraits of Roman Egypt almost uncannily bring before us individuals from about two thousand years ago. The powerful promise of the ancient Egyptian afterlife, the pervasiveness and coherence of Roman culture, and the strong naturalism of the Graeco-Roman painting tradition combined to produce these arresting portraits of the gentility of the towns and cities of Egypt beyond the great metropolis of Alexandria. —Ancient Faces: Mummy Portraits from Roman Egypt (ed. Susan Walker) (1997)
