designs for Zeus, Poseidon, Hades
People construe the 'Mediterranean lifestyle' as an olive oil diet and heroic job shirking. But these are tangential to its true historical meaning: accepting that your town could get raided and you'd have to spend a fun gap decade identifying as a Turk or Sicilian.
Some of my designs for Hestia, Hera, Demeter, and Aphrodite.

okay i've come to appreciate seneca for his banger lines but wow already on the FIRST PAGE of his medea???
MEDEA: Bring death on this new wife, death on the father-in-law and the whole royal stock. For the bridegroom I have a worse prayer in store: may he live. May he wander through unknown cities in want, in exile, hated and homeless may he seek out other men's doors, by this time a notorious guest; may he long for me as his wife andâI can make no worse prayerâfor children resembling their father and resembling their mother. My revenge is born, already born: I have given birth.
Pio Andrea Peri, grazie alla sua abilitĂ nell'usare i droni, ci fa vedere la discesa della lava lungo le falde di "Idda", a "Muntagna": l'Etna.
Hai mai conosciuto la forza della terra? Qui in Sicilia la natura è padrona, noi non lâabbiamo addomesticata o violentata: è lei che decide, lei è lâunica volontĂ che comanda. LâEtna è il cuore della nostra natura. Immensa e altissima, lei regola le nuvole del cielo e lâacqua che esse portano. La sua terra che è sgorgata dal profondo ne porta il sapore e lo dona alle vigne perchĂŠ il loro vino abbia un gusto terreno e minerale. I suoi boschi dominano le pendici e sono fatte da alberi vecchi di milioni da anni che trovi solo nel profondo nord Europa. Miti ed enormi, gli alberi vivono malgrado la lava che quando scende li fa bruciare da lontano rendendoli spettri bianchi e magici. Poi câè la lava che quando esce dalle ferite del monte innonda di fuoco tutto quello che trova e scorre a valle con un calore insopportabile e un suono vetroso esteso e continuo. Eâ fuoco liquido che divora tutto quello che tocca e a volte scompare in vene infuocate che scorrono nel monte invisibili ma dal calore insopportabile, poi riappare e si allarga a distruggere le opere degli uomini o a creare nuove terre per i noccioleti o le vigne. Solo Dio o i santi possono fermarla o spegnerla. Ma è storia di un momento perchĂŠ la Montagna è indifferente ai desideri degli uomini, erutta di nuovo ed ancora, ancora, eternamente. PerchĂŠ lei è la figlia prediletta della natura, è la mano della creazione. Domina, vive, regna.
Have you ever experienced the strength of the earth? Here in Sicily, nature is master; we have neither tamed nor violated it: it is she who decides, she is the only will that commands. Etna is the heart of our nature. Immense and towering, she governs the clouds in the sky and the water they bear. Its earth, which gushed from the depths, brings its flavor and bestows it on the vines, giving their wine an earthy, mineral flavor. Its forests dominate the slopes, made up of trees millions of years old, found only in deep northern Europe. Gentle and enormous, the trees live despite the lava that, when it descends, burns them from afar, turning them into white, magical ghosts. Then there is the lava that, when it emerges from the wounds of the mountain, floods everything in its path with fire and flows down the valley with an unbearable heat and a long, continuous, glassy sound. It is liquid fire that devours everything it touches and sometimes disappears into fiery veins that flow through the mountain, invisible but unbearably hot. Then it reappears and expands to destroy the works of men or create new lands for hazelnut groves or vineyards. Only God or the saints can stop it or extinguish it. But it is the story of a moment because the Mountain is indifferent to the desires of men; it erupts again and again, eternally. Because it is nature's beloved daughter, the hand of creation. It dominates, it lives, it reigns.

Worst thing i've made in a while sia
dont trace reference images. dont even LOOK at reference images. in fact, don't ever look at anything that exists in the world, in person or in photos or in videos, even when you're not drawing, because you will still be able to use the memories of what something looks like as a reference when you're drawing it later. yes that includes yourself. destroy all the mirrors in your house. don't look down at your hands or feet. don't look. close your eyes. close them tight. forget everything. it's okay, embrace the darkness. just forget.
Reblogging it here for @catilinas tag
Learned that some later sources claimed Achilles to be a Scythian so Iâm playing with a possible new design for him
I give up!
Animating is not for me and my lack of patience, and so your Andromache angst will unfortunately have to be be half baked at best
i love it when italians argue about italian. like we donât even know how our language really works we just roll with it
Italian is 107 different provincial languages stuck together with spit and half a prayer
My bf lives in another region and we are constantly arguing about regional variations of words and we both live in the fucking north of Italy
one time i saw a map of italy but instead of cities and roads etc it was just covered w different ways you can say the word vagina. it was covered
oh I can think of at least seven ways to say the word vagina right off the top of my head rn. I canât imagine what I could do if I tried harder

this is the Italian Vagina Map, reblog to⌠Iâm not sure actually. Canât hurt though.Â
â¨My version of the âAbduction of Helenâ, which is my contribution to @singomusezine, last volume coming out in July, as you know, full of great fellow artists drawing Greek Mythology awesomeness.
I chose this episode from The Iliad, Book III as the theme of the zine this year is about The Trojan War and all related.
đ𦢠Paris and Helen of Sparta/Troy.
I was going to write about the meaning of the illustration and what Iâve expressed here, based on that episode, but I prefer to leave it to your understanding and imagination. And Iâm sure you can also spot the little symbols Iâve included. I hope you like it â¤ď¸
'Traces of pederasty in Sophocles' work are also confined to the fragments of lost plays, but as with Aeschylus there is nothing to indicate a negative view. In the Niobe (fr. 148 Radt), one of Niobe' s sons appealed to his erastÄs for help; Athenaeus (13.601a-b) tells us that this play was so strongly characterized by the pederastie theme that its alternate title was Paiderastria. In the Colchides (fr. 345 Radt), there was a nice line about Ganymede 'warming the tyranny of Zeus with his thighs'. The most extensive treatment of pederasty was in Sophocles' Lovers of Achilles, which was almost certainly a satyr play. The chorus of satyrs were probably among the young Achilles' would-be lovers, but not the only ones. This play could be read as Sophocles' response to Aeschylus' Myrmidons, in that itpresented Achilles as erĂľmenos, whereas in Aeschylus he had been portrayed as erastÄs.'
