I love your drawings of Poseidon, I love how you put him in the myths as a father, for others his children are monsters and for him they are the most adorable little thing

hes just a father <3

For my OG Medusa lovers out there I present to you Medusa from the temple of Artemis in Kerkyra/Corfu one of the oldest known archaic temples!

Not gonna lie guys I felt my heart skipping a beat standing under this masterpiece that I have only seen in books! And this thing is HUGE!

Like you can see people for scale:

A gift of the tyrant family of Cypselids around the years 590-570 BC but constantly reconstructed and sustained for many years this masterpiece is a doric pseudo-dipteral temple. This masterpiece is depicting Gorgon Medusa and her two children, the winged horse Pegasus and Chrysaor that here is depicted as a young man. And the details man! The details!

I mean look at the details of her winged feet!

Medusa is depicted at her usual archaic way of 3/4 perspective with her head facing the viewer as an apotropaic mask and her body is depicted with the characteristic skip that is being used to indicate fast pace or flight. She is surrounded by lions and male forms.

I could sleep there guys! I think this apotropaic symbol would protect me! When I visited that museum to visit her was like a life experience! I was so privileged to have seen it and also to my leisure without many people around! I felt like paying my tribute to Artemis after Hera, Apollo, Poseidon and Asclepius back then in Mon Repos:

Recently came up with a concept desgine for Chrysaor, son of Poseidon & Medusa, & father of Echidna. So I had to doodle a comic of dad Chrysaor panicking over his daughter's taste in men, featuring @pink-noah Typhon.

Echidna, watching Typhon in awe: I'm going to climb that man like a tree.

Chrysaor:Sweetheart you don't have to, just because your grandmother was a gorgon...

Echidna: Nah, I'm gonna.

Chrysaor, glaring accusingly at the sea & his father, Poseidon: Dammit dad! Of all the traits my daughter had to inherit from you it's this?! Wanting to seduce terrifying & dangerous snake people!

Kind of ironic considering Chrysaor is Medusa's son. Tbh while I do depict Chrysaor as having golden serpent eyes like Medusa, green braided hair, & spiked snake bite percings. I could see him looking a lot like his father, Poseidon, under the helmet but Chrysaor is taller & with wings.

@pink-noah @messymoonmad @fishyseidon I'm curious how would ur Poseidon's react to their son with Medusa, Chrysaor, blaming the Lord of the Sea's attraction on dangerious snakey people being inherited by his grand-daughter since she's attracted to Typhon in the first place?

Altho tbh Echidna is also part snake & pretty scary herself, but Chrysaor is her father. He still thinks of her as his little girl, & lbr his concers about Typhon r justified what with the whole trying to overthrow Zeus thing, however Typhon actually turnes out to be a pretty good husband to Echidna. Sure he's an eldrich being of chaos but u gotta respect he genuily adored his little snake wife & monster kids.

In art and literature, Pegasus (and by extension Chrysaor) was born from Medusa’s head fully formed, but wouldn’t it be funny if Pegasus and Chrysaor were born as babies so Perseus and Athena had to take some accountability for orphaning their monstrous cousins? Idk I just thought this would be amusing.

Also in my retelling, Perseus sneaks up on Medusa while she’s asleep and her sisters aren’t home, but he slips up and Medusa wakes up and they fought.

Medusa retelling idea…🐍🥀🪨

it’s Medusa’s life before her death and its slice of life.

that’s it.

no big conflict pre-Perseus, no UwUifing & / or victimising Snake Lady, or demonising her family.

Just little dumb moments like Medusa, Euryalê & Sthennô cracking up at each other’s crude / evil jokes / being three terrifying Disney Villain-type sisters, spending some quality time with their parents who r very proud of their horrible monstrous girls, Medusa & her Monsterfucker bf Poseidon (not Ovid’s version) being freak4freak with each other, rolling around in that meadow and ruining the soil with their graphic canoodling/j, you get the idea.

Medusa then finding out she’s pregnant and her sisters teasing her about it profusely (“*loud hiss-cackling* weren’t too careful with that Sea God lover of yours were you?~” “*growl-groan* OH SHUT IT”).

and then her death…BUT-

it’s portrayed comedicish with her sisters walking in on her corpse at the sound of her head being sliced like: “sister don’t tell us you’ve started wetting the bed alre-

*babe Pegasus + Khrysaor on the floor next to Medusa’s body like

👁️👁️ 👁️👁️*

*Perseus with his back turned looking pants shittingly TERRIFIED*

“…wh- WHAT IN THE FUCKING—“

btw NO PERSEUS SLANDER WILL BE TOLERATED‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Medusa, at the end of the day, is a monster AKA killed quite a lot of (potentially) innocent ppl, Perseus was just there doing what he had to do, Get out of my comment section Booktok Girlies :)

Leo. “If I had a nickel for every one of Percy’s half-brothers we’ve had to fight on this stupid quest, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice."

[jabutipiranga]

The other Gorgons cried for their sister's death but booktok gotta focus on some god who never even interacted with Medusa at all. At least use Pegasus and Chrysaor guys
