This might be a bit corny lol. Admittedly, I'm not really satisfied with how this turned out (might tweak things later maybe), but it's been so long since I've drawn anything and I wanted to get something out by Halloween at least, so this will have to do. u_u

Apollo, Hermes, Athena, Artemis, and Ares.

the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire

icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down

cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated

If there's any character in this world who suffers from literary Ken-ification it's Patroclus. Especially in the zeitgeist of today (thanks tsoa), it's always Achilles AND Patroclus, never just Patroclus. Who is he? Why does he exist? He is Achilles' boyfriend! What's his job? Death! In the sense that he just. Dies. That's just his job now. Death. Death and Achilles' boyfriend. That's it.

Cassandra of Troy - some clothing studies

The daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba, Cassandra was the princess and prophetess of Troy.

The older and most common versions of the myth state that she was admired by the god Apollo, who sought to win her over by means of the gift of seeing the future. But when Cassandra rejected him, Apollo could not take back the divine gift, so he cursed Cassandra that her prophecies may never be believed. In another version, she tricked Apollo into granting her the gift of prophecy but refused to lie with him and was cursed by the god.

A wild Artemis and Apollo appear. 🌿

I wanted to depict them before their debut on Olympus. If I could go back I would redraw them with more animal skins in their clothing to really add that touch of wildness... but ah well, there's always next time.
