After the Iliad book 5 battle

[superscrub323]

These 3 months and 3 weeks have made me incredibly irritating to the entire subreddit of Greek Mythology (except for 1 person) when the subject of Ares comes up.

[sarnai4]

Ares: What do you think of butterflies?

Athena: Did you get hit in the head again?

Ares: I'm just curious.

Athena: I suppose they're fine. They're like diurnal moths.

Ares: I was afraid you'd say that.

Athena: Why?

Ares: Owls eat moths, don't they?

Athena: What are you implying?

Ares: Thanatos turned into a butterfly a couple days ago.

Athena:...

Ares: Said he wanted to enjoy nature.

Athena:...He didn't go to Athens, did he?

Ares: He did.

Athena:...

Ares: You ate my friend.

Athena: I was wondering why that pellet was noisy.

Ares: I don't have enough friends for you to start eating them, Athena.

Athena: If you eat one of mine, we'll be even.

Ares (walks away)

Athena (nervously): Where are you going?

Ares: To Ithaca.

Athena: I was joking!

Can I dare ask for a little Ares for my altar, if it's not too late, pretty please ?

Ares: Farther is for literal distance, further is for figurative distance, and father is for emotional distance Hector: Who hurt you? Ares: My father, did you not hear what I just said?

I saw your post about Ares and i saw this comic a while ago that i hate with all my heart and i wanted your opinion on it so here it is…

Oh yeah I know of that one, Athena isn’t really a demanding goddess at all, she helps “average” ppl all the time and I’ve joked about this before but heroes can fuck up or break every Geneva convention and she’d still support them, if anything I’d argue she could actually be more strict and picky over who to help bc a lot of her favorites don’t really deserve it. Also like with my previous Ares post, he wasn’t the god that ppl would summon but a god they’d ask to go away. Also Plato has this to say about Ares:

Plato, Laws 670b (trans. Lamb) (Greek philosopher C4th B.C.) :

"These shall incur as much disgrace as the man who disobeys the officers of Ares [i.e. the city wardens or police of Athens]."

So yeah, not exactly portrayed as the protector or supporter of the rebellious. I think ppl hear that Athena and Ares are in conflict with each other so it means they’re opposites in everything, Athena helps heroes so Ares must help everyone who isn’t a hero (even tho he’s the father of like 2 tyrants and a man eating dragon but I digress), Athena is cruel to those who offend her, specially women so Ares must actually be pretty chill to women (he isn’t). It’s just classic flanderizarion that waters down these extremely complex figures.

Ares and Hermes are just chaotic So this video from Troy has been on my mind as art ever since I saw it but I became creative just now. Yeeey! So Troy and Earle duo absolutely brings me so much joy and I love how Hermes & Ares are. Plus you have the nuggies and the frog with a knife inspired by Earle too. He is so Ares coded.

I just love his thought process. "If I draw this when she's sleeping, she'll never know I was here. She definitely won't ever look at her arm...who's the real god of strategy here?" (Also, their matching feathers are super cute and I will be imagining them pruning each other, thank you very much)

Firstly, LOVE Penelope's nymph ears, and second, I love the Greek signatures you gave on Athena's arm cast 😭 If you were still ok doing more of that pic ya think we could get Athena waking up from Zeus’s attack with Ares signing her cast, hoping she wouldn’t see him? 😅

I have no idea who this anon is or if you’re all even the same person but THANK YOU!! AND I LOVE ALL THESE CAST SIGNING IDEAS THIS IS REALLY FUN

Athena is sleeping sitting up because she refused to rest and stubbornly sat but ended up dozing off anyway, totally not because I wanted to draw the angle in panel 3

Athena cast signing series:

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

What do you think about human inventions like coffee makers or social media?

Coffee maker is my new religion. Seriously, coffee is even better than ambrosia. And social media? This is a battle without glory. Likes are not blood, but sometimes I dislike Zeus.anonymously. from different accounts

Aphrodite talking about Nerites: And so, he broke up with me, heh...
