Dionysus is showing his young sister Euposia a bunch of grapes.

Note: Euposia ("Abundance") is an unusual goddess identified from an inscription found at Sardis. Her name was incomplete, so "Euposia" is just a restoration. I think the name is reasonable since it appears on some Sardian coins featuring a Tyche-like figure and in a Hierapolitan statue dedicated to Thea Euposia.

Euposia is one of the children of Kore, and there is some flimsy evidence suggesting that Dionysus was named ΔIONYCOC KOPAIOC (pertaining to Kore) on Sardis coins. Furthermore, Dionysus is famously known as the son of Kore in myths. It turns out they are brother and sister, at least nominally.

I can't draw feet. I give up.

Euposia and her mother Kore. When I first saw Sardis Kore I know that's my girl. She's a daughter and a mother.🥹

The sun is kissing Plouton, base on the kiss of Helios to Sarapis. It's actually kind of funny, in Homer's poems we know that Hades didn't like the sun, but he would be a sun god or a god related to the sun later. 😂

Euposia touched the ground and made this prayer:

Plouton, host of many, if I may call you father— let your horses come a little later. Do not take my mother away so quickly, she whom the world calls Kore. When you take her, please be gentle; do not leave marks on her white arms— for she once held me close with them.

Whispers of young goddesses

"All I want is to stay with my sisters and fulfill my sacred duty."

"Me too."

Euposia, daughter of Kore. Makaria, daughter of Hades. They come from different places, different times, and there's no source to put them all together. But I think Makaria is good if there is going to be a young goddess to help Euposia in her journey to the underworld. They are "half-sister" and never met each others until they grew up.
