nothing gets me more than when characters who spent their whole lives apologizing for their existence start to get angry instead

Personal pet peeve: adaptations where Ariadne is scared or freaked out the first time she sees Dionysus' madness. I mean for one it feels kinda weird and gross but also you think Dionysus wouldn't marry someone who was 1000% down with all his faces?? you think the Lady who danced in the minotaurs labyrinth wouldn't be able to handle her hot malewife husband who goes feral every now and again??? boring!! it's just boring!

Ariane, ma soeur, de quel amour blessée 

Vous mourûtes aux bords où vous fûtes laissée!

Ariadne, my sister, wounded by what love,

You died on the shore where you were abandoned.

I have so many questions about the story of Ariadne’s abandonment on Naxos like:

1. On one hand I get not wanting to marry the daughter of the guy who’s sacrificing your people to the cowboy that lives under his castle (even if you originally promised her), but Theseus then marries Ariadne’s sister?? Is it because in some stories Ariadne is running the labyrinth while Phaedra’s mostly not involved or

2. Did Phaedra say nothing on the boat/Naxos before ditching her sister to become Queen of Athens. I desperately want to know what’s their siblings dynamic and if they consider the Minotaur a brother or a monster

3. What is going on in Naxos at this period in the mythos. Was it inhabited by people? Were there only cats and wandering gods? Like on the “getting stranded on a greek island in a mythic scenario” scale where does Naxos lie if you don’t attract godly notice

Anyway drew more Ariadne my favourite greek mythos girl fr

Theseus is gonna save horse ride a cowboy

had this idea where the minotaur is a literal cow boy and a longhorn, Theseus is a cowboy, and ariadne’s thread is a lasso lmao

If you think about it, Ariadne's been a businesswoman in the afterlife keeping Charon's wells stocked with her yarn. She might be depresso about missing out on that Diondick for all eternity but that won't stop her from getting that coin

Meanwhile, Artagan is dumped onto the floor like someone canceled the enchantment on a bag of holding.

Thanks for the prompt 😂 it maybe got away from me a little

I wonder: do you think Ariadne is ever allowed to visit camp to see her husband? I think she deserves to be allowed to do that. You know what? Someone should write a Valentine's Day story about that. Ariadne coming to visit her husband on Valentine's or something. I just think it'd be fun. Also, it'd be nice to see Dionysus and his wife interacting.

Also I am still laughing about Matt's answer for Essek in a different person's body being someone who has a lower profile so he can do his research. Validation for me personally 😌

[geekynichelle]

Current author drama aside, to be honest, I'm giving Greek Myth retelling's a break. However, if someone wants to recommend something not written by a racist or fake feminist, and that includes any of the following, I'd be open to it:

-Good Ares and Aphrodite rep.

-Dionysus and/or Ariadne content

-Odyssey related shenanigans

it's going to be a maze story, i swear

«It presents a well-known song, the French ballade titled En la maison Dedalus (In the house of Dedalus). The large red circle in the centre represents the mythological figure Ariadne, who is a prisoner in the house of Daedalus. The music and the lyrics are written in a circular form, spiralling around the central figure, locking her up within the song. As the text is not presenting in a linear format, the reader has to physically turn the book around in their hands in order read the music. The reader will ultimately end up turning the book in time with the music, watching the lyrics swirl around the prisoner, and creating a rhythm with the movement. This is an example of how illustration and typography can be used to add a physical experience to the book, and create an extra layer of understanding.»
