galatea, the beloved (asteroid 74)

Once upon a time, Polyphemus, the Cyclops from the journey of Odysseus, fell in love. Galatea was a lovely Nereid who was in love with Acis (whose story I previously told). Polyphemus learned of this when he saw the two together thusly crushed Acis with a boulder and breaking the heart of Galatea. IN MY OPINION, with this version in mind, Galatea could represent a) the types of lovers you attract, b) how those that love you tend to become jealous, and/or c) the terrible things that happen to those you love.

In another version, a sculptor named Pygmalion makes an ivory statue showcasing what he believes to be the ideal of womanhood and names it Galatea. He becomes so enamored by Galatea that he falls in love with her. Venus was enchanted by this and brought the statue of Galatea to life in answer to Pygmalion's prayers. The two then had a child named Paphos together. IN MY OPINION, with this version in mind, Galatea could represent a) beauty/attractiveness, b) what makes you someone's ideal, c) who you can enchant with you looks, d) where your love story attracts a lot of attention, and/or e) where people tend to be extremely hopeful of having you in their lives.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of galatea along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of galatea AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede galatea!

His name is Acis :)

[mythological-art]

Acis and Galatea

Artist: Charles de la Fosse (French, 1636-1716)

Date: 1699-1704

Medium: Oil on Copper Plate

Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Acis and Galatea

Acis and Galatea gaze in amazement at the Cyclops Polyphemus , who appears on the top of the mountains. The scene takes place in the middle of a shady, wooded landscape, next to a stream. Acis holds Galatea in his arms , who, naked from the waist up, leans on him. The work is excellent in terms of its stylistic conception and the figures of the two young people are treated in detail with correctness and good taste. The workmanship, the forms and the tonal variety, in the Rubenian tradition, give the painting a modern, multi-faceted character, which is joined by the contribution of the rich pictorial material.

I download AO3 fics occasionally, mainly DRRR ones. But since Apple Book default covers are downright hideous, I took matters into my own hands.

Truthfully it isn’t any better than the default, but it is an excuse to draw Izaya.
