In 1993 Enitharmon Press in London released The Bending of the Bow: A Version of the Closing Books of Homer's 'Odyssey' – a bound volume with poetry by Neil Curry.  The illustrations (lithographic frontispiece and four photogravures, below) all reproduced drawings from Jim Dine's 'Glyptotek' series of 1987-88. The etching of the head of the poet Homer, also based on sculpture from Munich's Glyptotek, was included with the book, unbound.
