#Greek mythology art

[circusinarun]

I... I wanted to learn how to draw hands... But instead i drew some guy and Circe...

Also! About requests! I see them all and i LOVE all ideas! But before i start, i really want to practice in drawing good hands, since i think that it kinda stops me from doing creativity stuff. Don't worry, I'll draw them soon. Tomorrow I'm planning to post half of them :]

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

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

Thetis with the arms of Achilles

I saw several mosaics depicting this motive and decided to try my hand at it as well.

Also, I just find Thetis to be quite interesting as a character. There’s gotta be something fundamentally Tragic about raising a child, knowing that he will most likely die very young.

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.

simple sketch with no rendering bc i couldnt be bothered ngl

[ivettaflowerblooom]

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.

Apollo and Hyancinthus doodles bc it's pride month

[sarafangirlart]

In art and literature, Pegasus (and by extension Chrysaor) was born from Medusa’s head fully formed, but wouldn’t it be funny if Pegasus and Chrysaor were born as babies so Perseus and Athena had to take some accountability for orphaning their monstrous cousins? Idk I just thought this would be amusing.

Also in my retelling, Perseus sneaks up on Medusa while she’s asleep and her sisters aren’t home, but he slips up and Medusa wakes up and they fought.
