"Come, my heart, put on your armour" - Euripides' Medea

Medea sits on the porch of her house in Corinth after killing her children, in a short moment of contemplation, waiting for the arrival of Iason and her final triumph over him. She is the Deus ex Machina in her own play. She doesn't need a god to intervene on her behalf, she is half-god herself.

The Medea of Euripides is probably one of my favourite plays of all time with Medea being one of my favourite characters ever put on stage. Euripides is a master of the pyschological thriller and the portrait he paints of Medea the child-killer, Medea the witch, Medea the wronged woman, Medea the hated foreigner, is still so modern and so topical, even now almost 2500 years later.

just some chara designs I did for fun :3 on top are Artemis, Athena and Hera, below I wrote the names in French but I think you can tell who's who 😎

Anyway! I hope someday I'll gather the courage to make an argonauts retelling story 🥹 that'd be cool

Я нарисовала коллекцию Царевен Союзмультфильма по аналогии с Принцессами Диснея. Часть пятая. В этом посте у меня Царевны из мультфильмов: I drew a collection of Soyuzmultfilm Princesses similar to the Disney Princesses. In this post (Part 5) I have Princesses from cartoons: «Лабиринт. Подвиги Тесея» 1971 (The Labirynth) «Аргонавты» 1972 (Argonauts) «Дочь Солнца» 1963 (The Daughter of the Sun) «Гунан-Батор» 1965 (Goonan - Bator) «Наргис» 1965 (Nargis) «Сын Камня» 1982 (The Son of the Stone)

🏛️🎶📜 Come, O Muse, let Homer and Hesiod sing of Primordial Gods, the war of the Titans and rise of the Olympians, and the murky depths of Hades’ underworld. Let Apollodorus and Diodorus sing of Herakles’ redemption, Orpheus’ mournful lyre, swift-footed Atalanta, King Theseus’s Hubris, Perseus’s valor, the tragic Amazon warrior women, and the Argonauts’ impossible sea quest. Our heroes stand ready, inviting you to join them on these grand sagas. So gather your supplies, and muster your courage, as we set sail into the Aegean Sea to be immersed like never before.

Like this art? It will be in my illustrated book with over 130 other full page illustrations coming in October to kickstarter. Please check These links:

The Argonauts

[dilfaeneas]

The argonauts are fightingggg and they haven't even set off yet!

"So he spoke, but Idas son of Aphareus burst into laughter and with scorn in his eyes he replied abusively:

'Come now! Tell me this through your prophetic skill: will the gods destroy me in the way your father bestowed the destruction upon the Aloiadai? Take thought for how you will escape my hands if you are found to have uttered empty prophecies!'

So he attacked him angrily and the quarrel would have gone further had not the son of Aison himself restrained their dispute with words of rebuke. Moreover Orpheus took up his lyre in his left hand and began to sing.

- Jason and the Golden Fleece, Book 1 lines 486-494, Apollonius of Rhodes as Translated by Richard Hunter.

Idas really said chat shit get hit. Atalanta is not present in this translation but I simply want her there.

Notes:

I've been writing and rewriting this fic for about 2 years, and I finally decided that it is time to start posting it.

I want to thank everyone in the Dragon Effect server, and my besties, who have listened to me rant and rave and come up with increasingly angsty bullshit to put Alex through for the last 2 years. Truly, I don't think I'd have gotten this far without y'all.

This is still a WIP, and as of right now I am planning on posting every other week.

Extra thanks to @unfair-water-plane, @ad-astra13, and @mallaidhsomo for alpha reading, doc gremlining, and otherwise helping me stay motivated, and to Snarkelogist for beta-reading for me <3

Read Prologue here

Excerpt:

“Do you know why we’re here?”

Alex shrugs. “I know more than most of the crew. Covert pickup on Eden Prime. Testing the stealth systems in action.” He looks at Nihlus. Spectres are the galaxy’s best soldiers. They don’t ask questions like that without already knowing the answer. “But you know something I don’t, or we wouldn’t be having this conversation.”

“Yes.” The bass of Nihlus’ subvocals offset the tenor of his voice in a pleasant harmony. “I’m sure you are aware that the Alliance has been pushing for the induction of a human Spectre for years. I’ve been sent to evaluate your candidacy.”

Fast Fauna Facts #3 - Winged Argonaut (Argonauta hians)

Family: Argonaut Family (Argonautidae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

Like the other small octopuses in the argonaut family many Winged Argonauts appear to have spiral-shaped external shells similar to those of nautiluses or ammonites, but this isn't quite the case - what appears to be an argonaut's shell is only seen in adult females, and is actually a thin-walled, calcium-based case secreted from and held by a specialised pair of arms in order to carry fertilized eggs until they hatch. Found in non-polar waters worldwide, Winged Argonauts are found mainly near the surface in the open ocean (in contrast to most octopuses, which are bottom-dwellers,) feeding on small floating invertebrates and often using their suction cups to cling to flotsam or larger animals (sometimes including other argonauts) for protection; when faced with a predator, they may attempt to position the animal they're riding on between them and the perceived threat to act as a meat shield.
