Reckless embodiment of the grapevine, divine favouritism won't save him from the foreseen fate! The ancient tragedy has been long sealed within convoluted music scores.

My humble and (extremely) time-consuming attempt at pulling an idv-esque poster. Please enjoy! 🏺🎻🍇

O that also I might be Ampeloian, as Apollo is Hyacinthian!

How long will you sleep, my dear? Not dancing any longer?

Why do not you go to-day to the river stream with a fine pitcher to fill with water?

The time has come round again for your familiar dance in the woodland glade.

If you are angry with lovestricken Dionysos, darling boy, speak to the Seilenoi that I may just hear your voice.

Apollo and Hermes comforting Dionysus after the death of Ampelos.

"[The constellation] Grape-Gatherer (Vindemitor) . . . Its cause, too, takes a moment to teach. Beardless Ampelos, they say, a Nymph's and a Satyrus's son, was loved by Bacchus [Dionysos] on Ismarian hills [in Thrake]. He trusted him with a vine hanging from the leaves of an elm; it is now named for the boy. The reckless youth fell picking gaudy grapes on a branch. Liber [Dionysos] lifted the lost boy to the stars." - Ovid, Fasti 3. 407 ff (trans.Boyle) (Roman poetry C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.)

"[Ampelos the love of Dionysos rode upon the back of a wild bull :] He shouted boldly to the fullfaced Moon (Mene)--‘Give me best, Selene, horned driver of cattle! Now I am both--I have horns and I ride a bull!’ So he called out boasting to the round Moon. Selene looked with a jealous eye through the air, to see how Ampleos rode on the murderous marauding bull. She sent him a cattlechasing gadfly; and the bull, pricked continually all over by the sharp sting, galloped away like a horse through pathless tracts. [It threw the boy and gorged him to death.]" - Nonnus, Dionysiaca 11. 185 ff (trans. Rouse) (Greek epic C5th A.D.)

Isn’t homophobia just hilarious?

I mean, 750 BC was when the Iliad was thought to have been written. 750 BC. And people still argue gay people are a fad.

Hm. Right.

I wonder if sometimes Mr D looks at the satyrs and thinks of Ampelos

@smileyalater @thel1ghtningthief Im giving the wine dude trauma again

[beatingdrumspouringwine]

Ampelos

adding a trigger warning up here for mentions of death and suicide

I call to the carefree Satyr with the flowing locks, Whose essence now flows within his beloved Dionysos. Blessed Ampelos, You died in pain, From falling from great heights in sweet orchards, Or in taunting a gentle Goddess from the back of a bull. Playful bullrider, most-beloved companion of Dionysos, Take those who find themselves at their end, And gently hold their hands, Provide peace and solace to the heartbroken, Giving to them the same sweet cup that You have given to Dionysos, And which became a part of You when You became the grapevine. Let no divinely beloved person meet an untimely end, But if their hands prevail against them, Meet them on the starlit shores of the afterlife, Welcome them with open arms and sweet draughts, And walk with them in the soft flowered fields, Where arrows never pierce, voices never rise in anger, And the sweet meadows give comfort to all.

I like them a lot

Really I just wanted to play around with more dynamic poses. Parts of the anatomy may be off, but it at least gets across some aspect of intimacy and has a fun composition.

It’s loosely based on the dream in the Dionysiaca that Dionysos has about Ampelos, but it’s not exact depiction. I really love that passage. Nonnus depicts Dionysos with utter devotion to Ampelos. Imagine praying to the most powerful god, your father, and saying your boyfriend is hotter than his. Crazy. I’d suggest reading book 10 (albeit with the full awareness that Ovid’s work is more connected to the actual religion and stories than a 5th century Christian Greek living in Roman occupied Egypt. And ovid isn’t Greek. Ovid also depicts a variation of the Ampelos story, but it’s extremely different. Cool how stories change among different times and places!)

anyways it’s been awhile since I last made a piece with Ampelos and I very much need to remedy that. Made a few small changes to his design but you can’t really see it lol. Happy pride

Ampelos Concept Design !!

Don’t let his looks deceive you, he is a bad influence and comes up with the most unsafe party games to exist. (Like blindfolded non-circular musical chairs.) What do you think he would think of eating grapes?

[thaliasthunder]
