#if you checked ‘the bacchae’ or ‘sanskart(mythos)’ tag on this blog it should be at the bottom

Oh hello and thank you!! <3

If you meant the Bacchae piece I did then yeah! A silly fact is that the reason for the blank mask is because while drawing it I straight out didn’t have a design in mind for Dionysus’ face :p Then I was checking the play again while drawing maenad!Pentheus and realised that D wears a mask for basically all of it and went: “Perfect. Say no more.”

“If I turn from the beach there is no roof in this tenantless island, no way shows a passage, circled by waves of the sea; no way of flight, no hope; all denotes dumbness, desolation, and death. Nevertheless my eyes shall not be dimmed in death, nor my senses secede from my spent frame, until I have besought from the gods a just penalty for my betrayal, and implored the faith of the celestials with my last breath.”

I feel like depictions of Ariadne on Naxos kinda mostly portray sleeping or sad Ariadne but like. Where’s my “sped-run the five stages of grief on Naxos” Ariadne. All this to say I love “pissed off and calling for divine intervention” Ariadne from Catallus 64 very much speak your truth darling

Also added a bunch of panels where her thread leads a silly little guy to her because I want her to have a happy ending :]
