Me designing Aglaia

Hephaestus and Aglaia

They’re so underrated and I wish ppl would explore their dynamic more instead of trying to fix Hephaestus and Aphrodite’s marriage.

Also there is a story mentioned in the Iliad were Hephaestus was trying to protect Hera from Zeus and in retaliation Zeus grabbed him by the foot and threw him of Olympus, and he landed on Lemnos. Hence the lightning scars.

APOLLO

“You well know I’m a fan of catchy songs…”

This was a DTIYS entry for Carianti (@cariantidraws on instagram)

Apollo design is mine (had to BE FAST but I like the way he came out), but the harp is heavily inspired by hers!

ἥκω Διὸς παῖς τήνδε Θηβαίων χθόνα Διόνυσος, ὃν τίκτει ποθ᾽ ἡ Κάδμου κόρη Σεμέλη λοχευθεῖσ᾽ ἀστραπηφόρῳ πυρί

"I have come, the child of Zeus, to this land of Thebes. I, Dionysus, whom Semele the daughter of Cadmus once bore, brought forth by the fire of lightning."

Bacchae - Euripides

Apollo and Artemis 🏹🌿✨

I really enjoyed to make this piece! I did the lineart traditionally and painted it digitally

This piece was based on an attic red-figure cup from the 4th century BCE

Ariadne, the Minotaur, and Phaedra—probably didn’t have the best sibling relationship, all things considered.

"Never again, never again shall I look on the light of the sun" - Euripides' Hekabe (transl. Anne Carson)

When the Greeks sail to Troy to retrieve Helen, wife of Menelaos, and lay waste to the city of Troy, the greek army is prevented from sailing on in Aulis. Artemis has been angered and demands a blood sacrifice in exchange for the winds that will carry the ships to the shores of Ilium.

So Agamemnon, chief commander of the army of Hellas, sacrifices his daughter Iphigenia at the altar of the goddess. Her death in exchange for eternal glory.

After the sacking of Troy, the remnants of the victorious greek army make ready to sail for home. But Achilles' vengeful ghost halts the winds, demanding proper sacrifice at his grave. Achilles demands blood in exchange for the winds that will carry the ships to the shores of Hellas.

So Odysseus and Agamemnon choose Polyxena, the youngest daughter of Priam and Hekabe, a princess of Troy. Her death in exchange for a homecoming worthy of the victors of Troy.

Though these two events are 10 years apart in the context of the story of the Trojan war, these two girls have always been connected with each other in my head. I imagine them at a similar age, looking similar even. I imagine Agamemnon thinking of Iphigenia as he watches Polyxena bleed out in front of him. Two sides of the same coin.

I begin to sing of Pallas Athena, the glorious goddess, bright-eyed, inventive, unbending of heart, pure virgin, saviour of cities, courageous, Tritogeneia.

Homeric hympn to Athena.

Polyhymnia, muse of sacred poetry

this is part of a larger piece I've been working on for the past month, depicting the 9 muses of Greek mythology with my original designs for each of them

it's still so far from being done but I liked drawing her
