Oh my god wait. What if the blessings of the gods manifested physically? Like if a god takes an interest in you, EVERYONE is going to see it, for better or worse. And if you lose their favour? Everyone can see that, too

Jason with a peacock tail and feather-crest, both of which go faded and limp when he turns on Medea, so that they drag on the floor and get in the way

Pollux with eagle wings instead of arms, so Castor acts as his hands and that’s why they’re inseparable. When Castor dies and Pollux splits his immortality with him, they each get one arm and one wing, so one can’t fly without the other

Odysseus with a forked tongue and fangs—a subtle feature that he can hide when he needs to. When Athena feels like being helpful (like when she disguises him as a beggar) she’ll cast an illusion over it, but Penelope immediately recognises him by his lisp

When Athena gives Diomedes the blessing of seeing through the gods’ disguises, he also gets owl eyes and the ability to turn his head 180 degrees. This helps when Odysseus tries to stab him in the back on the Palladium heist

HERACLES WITH BULL HORNS. I have nothing to add I just think that sounds sick as hell

Helen grows beautiful golden feathers instead of hair. Nothing useful, just an obvious sign of her heritage that adds to her appeal to the suitors: whoever wins her hand gets to walk around with a physical symbol of Zeus’s favour

Atalanta with antlers that snap when she gets married, leaving jagged shards behind that won’t go blunt and can’t be sharpened down. She can have her husband, but he can’t touch her head without risking badly cutting himself. This can either be one final blessing or a curse depending on how consensual you interpret the marriage

Hector has pristine white raven wings, making him even more terrifying to the Achaeans, flying into battle like divine intervention, and a symbol of hope for the Trojans. Achilles plucks the feathers off his corpse, but they won’t stop growing back. Still, Achilles has a cloak made from them and wears it into battle, turning Troy’s symbol against them

Paris gets dove wings, but he tells everyone they’re too small to fly with because he’s a coward and doesn’t want to have the same responsibilities as Hector. Then he flies away from the duel with Menelaus in front of the entire army, and that’s when Troy finally loses what’s left of their respect for him

They both have a soft side for babys, Artemis is just better at hiding it (except from Callisto)

[nerdasaurus1200]

An incorrect quote based on an ETM au that me and a friend have

Hermes: From now on we’ll be using codenames, darlings. You can address me as Eagle 1.

Hermes: Circe, codename- Been There Done That.

Circe:

Hermes: Aeolus is Currently Doing That

Aeolus: *high fives Hermes*

Hermes: Eurylochus is It Happened Once In a Dream

Eurylochus: What???

Hermes: Atalanta, codename, Precious Baby Can Do No Wrong.

Atalanta: I’m an adult, Hermes.

Hermes: Polites, codename- I’d be Lying If I Said I Hadn’t Thought about it.

Polites: Awww!

Hermes: Penth is If I Had to Pick an Amazon.

Penthesilea: *winks*

Hermes: Odysseus is…Eagle 2.

Odysseus: Oh thank gods.

Week 14: FINAL ART FRIDAY, Close-ups and Trivia Art Piece: The Huntress of Artemis

The art is complete! After guiding you through plans, sketches, and timelapses, we proudly present the final reveal—where imagination meets the mythic at Lockett Studio. Here are five concise and surprising trivia facts about Atalanta of Arkadia: “The Huntress of Artemis”

Raised by Artemis’s She-Bear: As a feral child, Atalanta was nurtured by Artemis’s she-bear in the wilds of Arcadia, growing up with unparalleled agility and strength.

The Calydonian Boar Hunt: Atalanta gained fame for her crucial role in the Calydonian Boar Hunt, where she was the first to draw blood from the beast, proving her prowess as a warrior.

The Foot Race for Marriage: Atalanta set the challenge for her suitors—only those who could beat her in a foot race could marry her. Hippomenes won with the help of three golden apples given to him by Aphrodite.

Divine Retribution from Aphrodite: Despite her strength and independence, Atalanta’s marriage to Hippomenes angered Aphrodite, who cursed them to transform into lions for their transgression.

In Apollonius' tale, Atalanta is turned away from the Argonauts to avoid potential conflict, but Apollodorus lists her as part of the crew, leaving us to wonder how her presence might have shaped their journey. What do you think of Atalanta’s story? From the Calydonian Boar hunt to the foot race with Hippomenes, Atalanta's strength and fate are unforgettable. how does Atalanta's independent spirit compare to other independent women on Greek myth like Medea, Clytemnestra, and The Amazons?
