"Glaucus and Scylla" published April 30,1933 in the American Weekly Sunday magazine painted by Edmund Dulac. Scylla was a lovely Sicilian maiden. Glaucus had been a mortal fisherman. By an odd accident he became a green sea god, with fishes’ tails for legs. He saw Scylla bathing and fell in love with her. She repulsed him. Glaucus sought help from the enchantress Circe, who turned men into swine. Circe fell in love with Glaucus, but he told her that trees would grow at the bottom of the ocean and sea weed on mountain tops before he would love anyone but Scylla.
In 1923, “Edmund Dulac, the Distinguished English Artist,” as he was billed on the covers, was contracted by the Hearst organization to paint watercolors for The American Weekly Sunday magazine. The contract lasted 30 years and Dulac painted 107 watercolors for thirteen different series until his last Arabian Nights in 1951.
