Inktober 2023 Day-22 HECATONCHEIRES, THE HUNDRED ARMED GIANT

Another lesser known figure of Greek myth, the Hecatoncheires were multi armed giants that were offspring of the Uranus and Gaia. Though some myths have them having multiple heads, minds has only one, but still, is none the less intimidating!!

"When Zeus took control in the heavens, he wielded his power excessively, committing many willful acts. Poseidon, Hera and Apollo wished to subjugate him by tying him up. When Thetis heard the plot against Zeus from her father, Nereus (he was a seer), she hurried to him, leading forth as an ally Aigaion to terrify the conspiring gods. He was a sea-god and judged against his father, Poseidon. When Zeus heard Thetis’ message, he hung Hera up in the fetters she intended for him and sentenced Poseidon and Apollo to serve Laomedon." - Schol. (D) Il. 1.399

A lot of interesting details in this version: first, the variant that Aigaion is Poseidon's son — as opposed to his son in law like in the Theogony 817, or his defeated opponent in Schol. Apoll. 1.165 (I adore all of his associations with the sea so much) — probably to explain Homer's comment that he's greater than his father. Second that Thetis learns about the coup from Nereus, and third, and this is what really got my attention, the detail that Zeus binds Hera in the golden chains she'd reserved for him.

We will n o t bring up briareos getting a lil p a l e in the two movies no sir

[whatyadrawin]

I am NEVER DRAWING THESE TWO EVER AGAIN! Briareos is so detailed. it's awful! I went with their Appleseed Alpha designs for this like a fool and coloring it was a nightmare. It made me realize just how awful my coloring skills are when it comes to varied textures. Also I did not mean to make Deunens breasts so big, they legit didn't look that big until I saved the file :/

Anyway, I hope you all like it because it took me a few days to complete due to burnout. I might just do lazy sketches for a while to take a break.

"For these lines, Homer deserves to be banished not just from Plato’s Republic but, as they say, beyond the furthest pillars of Heracles and the inaccessible sea of Ocean. For Zeus comes very near to being chained up, and the conspiracy against him is put together not by the Titans or the audacious Giants at Pallene, but by Hera (who has two titles, one from her kinship with him, and one from her marriage) and by his brother Poseidon, who had been allotted an equal share of the universe and bore no grievance against the greater winner for his missing an honor of which he ought to have been judged worthy; and, thirdly, by Athena, who by this one plot sinned against both her father and her mother. For my part, I fancy Zeus’s rescue was more disgraceful to him than the conspiracy, for it was Thetis and Briareus who freed him from his bonds, and hopes of rescue that depend on such allies are disgraceful.

There is only one remedy for this impiety: to show that the myth is an allegory. The fact is that we have in these lines a theological account of the oldest natural substance, which is the origin of all things. Homer is the sole originator of the scientific doctrine of the elements, and taught all his successors the ideas which they were held to have discovered. It is commonly agreed that Thales of Miletus was the first to represent water as the cosmogonic element of the universe. The liquid substance, which easily adapts itself to every circumstance, habitually takes various forms. Vaporized, it becomes air, and the subtlest part of it passes from being air to being kindled as aether. Again, when water settles and turns to mud it becomes earth. Thales therefore showed that water was, as it were, the most causative of the four elements. So who originated this opinion? Surely Homer, when he says Ocean, who is all things’ origin. Here he gives the watery substance a meaningful name, Okeanos, from ôkeôs naiein, “to flow quickly,” and makes it the originator of all things. However, Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, a pupil and successor of Thales, joined earth with water, as a second element, so that the wet, combined with the dry, blended with its opposite to produce a harmonious system.. . . Finally, the great philosophers filled out the complete set of four elements: two, they say, are material, earth and water; two are “pneumatic,” aether and air. The natures of these are mutually hostile, but come together in concord when they are combined in the same thing. . . . Let us now consider whether the conspiracy against Zeus is a catalog of the elements and touches on deeper scientific speculation. Now the most respected philosophers give the following account of the permanence of the universe: so long as uncontentious harmony rules the four elements, and no one of them is especially predominant, but each exercises a due control over the area to which it is assigned, then everything will remain unmoved; but if any one of the elements prevails, seizes power and extends beyond its proper range, the others will be merged in the power of the conqueror and inevitably yield to it. Thus when fire suddenly surges over, there will be a general conflagration of all things; and if water bursts out suddenly, the world will be destroyed by a flood. Homer thus suggests in these lines some future disturbance in the universe. Zeus, the most powerful element, is the object of a conspiracy by the others: by Hera, i.e., air; by Poseidon, i.e., water; and by Athena, i.e., the earth, since she, the Worker Goddess, is the creator of all things. These latter elements were at first kin to one another because they were mixed together; then, when they were almost fused into one, Providence was found to come to the rescue. This Providence Homer appropriately named Thetis, for she undertook the timely settlement [apothesis] of the universe, establishing the elements within their own spheres. Her ally in this was massive [briara] and many-handed power: for how can the disorder of such mighty things be cured except by great force?"
