SOL

Sol, the Norse goddess of the Sun, was the radiant daughter of Mundilfari and sister to Mani, the god of the Moon. Their father, proud of their unmatched beauty, boasted too much about it, angering the gods. As punishment, Sol was forced to drive the Sun’s chariot across the sky, pulled by the swift horses Árvakr and Alsviðr. She was never allowed to rest, for she was relentlessly pursued by the wolf Skoll, one of Fenrir’s children.

Each day, Sol raced to outrun her doom, knowing that if she faltered, darkness would consume the world. Her fate will be sealed at Ragnarök, the end of all things. When the final battle unfolds, Skoll will finally catch her, devouring her in a grim fulfillment of prophecy. Yet, her light will not be extinguished forever : her daughter, even more radiant than she, will rise to take her place, ensuring that the Sun will shine once more upon the new world.

Helen and Helen meeting Menelaus when they were young.

“In Attic Red-Figure we have Makron's cup in Boston on which Paris, now armed with helmet and spear, leads away by the wrist a downward-gazing Helen; Aineias, Aphrodite, and Peitho are also present while overhead hovers a small Eros (Boston 13.186). Another cup by the same painter in Berlin offers much the same general scene, but without the divine figures. Here instead Aineias seems to be fending off Timandra, Helen's sister, who hastens toward him imploringly while one Euopis informs Ikarios and Tyndareos of the event (Berlin: Ch F2291). Both cups do suggest a certain reluctance on the part of Helen, who must be led along by her would-be lover.”

"All I know is no one's ever loved me as much as me. They're all too busy feeling sorry for themselves to really care, you know? Can't love someone... if you can't love yourself." - Narcissus - Hades II
