From Book V of Homer's Iliad. Upon being grievously wounded by the Achaean warrior Diomedes, the hero Aeneas is saved through divine intervention from his mother, the goddess Aphrodite.
The characters are depicted here in historically inspired looks from the late Bronze Age, the period when the Trojan War was believed to have been set. Aphrodite's look in particulate is based off of Mycenaean frescos as well as Cypriot idols.

The little voice in my head that goes "ACHAEANS" everytime someone calls them greeks when talking about the iliad.
Currently thinking about the fact that Odysseus' dog has the same name as Diomedes' city.
My man really named his animal companion after a kingdom and I don't doubt for a moment that Diomedes wanted to strangle him for it.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PUNS AND JOKES?
Ody: I've heard recently that Argos is full of howl-arious bards.
Dio: I want you to remember that out of the two of us I am the one Athena gifted inhuman strength to.
...
Ody: Diomedes here is as loyal as a hound, aren't you my friend?
Dio: *ominous music starts playing in the background*
...
Ody: I really feel like you are barking up the wrong tree with Agamemnon, we should try-
Dio: I will murder you.
throughout spring semester, i've been working on comics for my class so i'd like to start posting them weekly on mondays now (manhua mondays if you will) !!
I've been so busy recently with school and stuff. Today I just took an AP Computer Science exam and hopefully I get a five 🤞
So here's Telemachus and Nausicaa, one of my favourite ships with like barely any mythological backing... I've been wanting to draw them together for a while. It's so sad how Nausicaa barely shows up in modern adaptations, she's like one of my favourite characters.
