The Warm Progress under the sun

I'm just this guy. 23, on the verge of discovery and fruitfulness. I'm in route of enlightenment by way of The Beatles.

The French Symbolist Gustave Moreau, one of the most distinctive artists I can think of, painted Jupiter and Semele in 1894 and 1895.

It depicts the story of Zeus appearing to his mortal lover, Semele. It’s a tale that explains both Zeus’ habit of showing up to his sundry women in the guise of animals, money, gusts of wind, &c., and the danger of tiny old ladies who give you strange romantic advice: sometimes they’re actually the wives of your weird deity boyfriends trying to trick you into demanding a glimpse of said boyfriend in his highly lethal superhuman-being form.

In short, don’t sleep with Zeus.

Semele, unfortunately, did not take my advice, and here dies in a visual cacophony of flowers and partially clad figures.
