You guys seemed to like Semele a lot, so have another piece as a treat! :D
The Piraeus Apollo, discovered in a votive pit during building works in the ancient harbor of Piraeus in July 1959, along with the Piraeus Athena and Piraeus Artemis, two Hermaic stelae, a mask, a shield, and other objects, by archaeologist John Papadimitriou. It is almost perfectly preserved, with minor damages and cracks, lacking only whatever would have been in the hands.
Traces of the missing objects are still visible: the left hand held a bow and the right a bowl, which may have been made of gold, confirming - along with the treatment of the hair - the identification of the figure as Apollo.
Once thought to date to the late Archaic period (530–480 BC) and to have come from a workshop of north-east Peloponnese, the figure shows an increased plasticity atypical of that tradition. He strides forward with his right leg, instead of the usual left, and his head is slightly bent to the front and right, abandoning the strictly frontal viewing position of the kouroi. His hair is rendered in a more naturalistic way than had previously been the case: it is tied with a band and forms spiraling curls over the forehead. It is now thought to belong to the Hellenistic period.

an old sketch of Aphrodite. I hoped her hair would have the color and luster of golden pearls…

My contribution to make people buy Euripides "The Bacchae" because it's one the finest works of his showcasing Dionysus power to its fullest
science has always been political. what gets studied. what doesnt. who gets to do the studying. on and on and on.

While I appreciate people acknowledging the gods represent some natural forces and myths as cautionary tales; I also saw an overcorrection where people went far to victim-blame and defend a questionable acts that were otherwise already questioned by the Greeks.
Like it’s also ok to still be disgusted by the gods’ rape and SA. The Greeks made fun of Zeus in comedies cause of this.
Niobe committed hubris, but that doesn’t stop the Greeks from sympathizing with her.
Some did not agree with Homer and Hesiod and have their own interpretations.
Euripides, Ion 436–47:
"But I must take Apollo to task. What’s got into him? Using violence then abandoning virgins? Secretly fathering children and then nonchalantly letting them die? You should be the last to do this. Phoebus, you have the power, so you should make virtue your goal. Human wickedness is punished by the gods, so how can it be right for you gods to make laws for us and then to be guilty of breaking those same laws yourselves? If – not that it will happen, but just for the sake of argument – if you and Poseidon and Zeus, the lord of the heavens, are going to be brought to book by humans for all the sexual violence you’ve committed, the penalties will empty your temples."

Hmmm Wip
Tried to maintain facial structure basic in Apollo sculptures 🤔
seems like nobody wants you to go into the cave and have visions anymore these days
I hate that “chat” now makes people think of chatgpt. no. I’m asking my imaginary greek chorus twitch audience.
