❝I will remember, nor could I forget, far-shooting Apollo,

whom gods tremble before as in Zeus’s abode he is striding—❞

APHRODITE, Goddess of Love Hades (2020) vs. Hades 2 (TBA)

[khaire-traveler]

There is something so beautiful and sweet to me about the fact that Thanatos is the god of peaceful death.

When I die, I want Death to greet me as an old, childhood friend - unknown yet so familiar, intimidating yet so comforting. I want Death to take me gently by the hand, whisper in my ear, "It'll be alright," and help me stand to my feet as I walk towards a new life - a different kind of life - in a place I may have seen in a dream once.

I hope Thanatos greets me, in my final moments, with the softness and sweetness of an old friend. To me, that is peaceful. And it's so beautiful that he is so willing to provide such comforts to humans in their official transition from one plane of existence to the next. How kind, how compassionate, how admirable.

Death is a friend, in the end, and he smiles softly as he takes your hand.

Sisyphus had to roll stuff up a hill. You can clearly see theres no room to roll here. No, this poor figure is forced simply to hold his burden where it is for all eternity. Thus:

Art by Leonid Ilyukhin.

As a devotee and worshipper of both Apollo and Dionysus, I find the contrast in this artwork mildly comical.

I mean, you look at Apollo's side and it's so pristine. All the muses are beautifully dressed and involved in something productive or academic. Apollo is actually seated with some sense of authority. It's a very beautiful scene.

And then you look over to Dionysus' side...

... and the fucking tree is on fire.

No one is fully dressed, tits out everywhere, everyone's drunk, no one is doing anything remotely productive, Dionysus is lounging around half naked.

I just- I love them both so much. Knowing them has made my life such an adventure ☀️🍇
