介绍（中）	穆勒在科内利斯之后创作了六幅版画；还有，大都会博物馆有四个印象。除了目前的作品外，它们还包括《杀死亚伯的凯恩》（56.597.4）、《海豚上的阿里翁》（56.59.5）和《克洛索、莱西西斯和阿特罗波斯三大命运》（56.594.7）。《尤利西斯和伊鲁斯之间的战斗》描绘了荷马史诗《奥德赛》第18卷中的一个事件。经过多年的流浪，尤利西斯终于回到伊萨卡，发现他的妻子佩内洛普被追求者包围，他们认为他已经死了，希望与她结婚。尤利西斯假扮成乞丐去见她，并被伊鲁斯挑战，伊鲁斯是一个醉酒的流浪汉，也是追求者的同伴。尤利西斯轻而易举地击败了伊鲁斯，穆勒向他展示了荷马对他的谴责；一个裸体的身影，胜利地站在对手的身体上，背对观众进行了充分的展示："他起伏的大大腿——他拳击手宽阔的肩膀，巨大的胸部和粗壮的手臂。"
介绍（英）	Muller made six engravings after Cornelis; and, impressions of four are in the Met. In addition to the present work they include Cain Killing Abel (56.597.4), Arion on a Dolphin (56.597.5) and The Three Fates Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos (56.597.7). The Fight Between Ulysses and Irus illustrates an event from Book 18 of the epic poem of Homer, The Odyssey. Finally returning to Ithaca after years of wandering, Ulysses discovers that his wife Penelope is besieged by suitors who, believing he was dead, wish to marry her. Disguised as a beggar, Ulysses goes to see her and is challenged to a fight by Irus, a drunken tramp and companion of the suitors. Ulysses easily defeats Irus, and Muller shows him as he is decribed by Homer; a nude figure, standing victorious over the body of his opponent, his back to the viewer putting on full display: "his big rippling thighs – his boxer’s broad shoulders, his massive chest and burly arms."
