[Ancient Hetalia]

A little illustration series I made in February/March before my exam about the Antiquity.

Here we have Ancient Egypt, Mama Iberia/Hispania (Spain and Portugal's mom), Minoan Crete (Ancient Greece's mom), Ancient Greece, Britannia, Germania and Noricum (Austria's mom and Germania's sister)

Helena Mycenae, Nation of Greeks

Welp, I gave in and drew her! Some things there are spoilers for my fic, The foam that rolls between the waves, so be aware under the cut.

For symbolism I have the pomegranates as an important symbol for ancient greece, on the top right corner I've drawn cycladic statues, minoan patterns and at the end, ancent greek trims.

The colors are based on red amphorae and the eyes on Helena's hair are like the ones drawn on triremes, only green, because... she has green eyes!

The doll's names are in linear A and B! Linear A hasn't been translated, sooo it's just random symbols.

On the olive tree three dolls are hung, Helena, Minos and Delos. Delos' doll is burned, like he did, Minos' is missing its heart, like the way he died, and Helena hangs beside them, the only one remaining.

aph Greece knows Minoan he just thinks it's funny to watch people struggle to decipher it

[marraiwa]

more ancient dead people 😬

though if we’re talking about sentient creatures, I have toyed with the idea of unicorns being her creation but think it’s a little too on the nose given the Fortemps connection

i like the idea of her creating the Ananta though. it’s very fitting considering she’s a native of Troia and Ananta society is similar (plus there’s the gag of my concept of Troia being sort of an expy of Minoan culture and the Ananta are literal snake women). Plus I love the idea of Lakshmi being a several generations removed Telephone Game-ish remnant of stories passed down about Aph, the way Azim was implied to be to the Steppe

most of what Aph created were plants

she loved plants. if there is a particularly vibrant sort of flower or kind of grass, she was probably responsible for it

that’s definitely a trait Gisele got from her

What is your relationship with Greece?

Murder tends to put a bit of a damper on a friendship.

Hey you! Yeah, you, do you like an exploration of adulthood and generational trauma? How about, what it means to be a parent? How kindness can be crushed and then reinstilled? Grief and what it is to be human?!?!

If yes, then BOY DO I HAVE THE FIC FOR YOU.

The Foam that Rolls Beteen the Waves, is a Hetalia Ancients fic concerning the Nation of Mycenae, AKA Ancient Greece, and her thousands years old mental breakdown!

It has a lot of crying and a lot of betrayal and a lot of overtly inhuman Nations. That's what the Eldritch Nations tag is for!

With our dear protagonist we have:

Minoooooan dad! (caused trauma)

Cycladic daaaaaad! (also caused trauma)

Egyptian lady! (likes wine a bit too much)

Hittite child from the 'a knife!' vine! (hangs out with horses more than people)

A short Sumerian gremlin! (oh my fucking god this man has so much trauma and PTSD I did not mean to be this cruel to him I am so sorry guys-)

AND MANY MORE TO COME!

Here are some of my favourite (non spoilery) excerpts:

1 “Fine, in which yard do you want me to wai-” 

“The central, now leave ” And he slammed the door on her face.

2 Obviously, she couldn’t understand a word, but it was still suspicious...

3 The guard groaned. “It’s... nice. But one shouldn’t stay in for long. It can lead into dangerous paths. The women there are especially...” he paused for a moment. “... they always frightened me. Maenads. Priestesses of Dionysus. That’s why I only slept with men there.”  

Anyways I'll drop art of the fic soon enough ok bye!

// Ahh can you do any of the Ancients, Like Persia or Egypt or an Ancient India? They get too little love. OC's are great too! Byzantine, Gaul, Britannia or Carthage with a majestic beard 😍

this fandom needs more ancient girlzz
