Reposting my old Blood of Zeus stuff since S2 drops tomorrow!! ^v^ *

[sasaleleselfships]

I have so many other things to be doing ASIDE from working on an admittedly impressing grey-tone sketch of me and all my friends Blood of Zeus inserts, and yet here we are falling victim to the whims of flesh. I recently rejoined the Percy Jackson fandom and by extension the Blood of Zeus fandom as well; After reaching back out to some old friends I decided to doodle my Aracelis with her friends and some other characters as a little false season two thumbnail.

Without further ado, enjoy!!

La bestemmia è un giuramento in cui il nome di dio è estratto dal contesto assertorio o promissorio e viene proferito in sé, a vuoto, indipendentemente da un contenuto semantico. Il nome, che nel giuramento esprimeva e garantiva la connessione fra parole e cose, e che definisce la veridicità e la forza del lógos, nella bestemmia esprime la rottura di questo nesso e la vanità del linguaggio umano.

Children of Eris Horkos (Horcus)

In Greek mythology, the figure of Horkos (Horcus)(Greek: Ὅρκος,  "oath")[1] is the son of Eris, whose birth was assisted by the Erinyes (Furies). He personifies the curse that will be inflicted on any person who swears a false oath.[2]

“A man who had taken a deposit from a friend and, when asked to swear an oath regarding it, left the town hurriedly. A lame man whom he met told his fellow-traveller that he was Horkos on his way to track down wicked people.  The man asked Horkos how often he returned to the city they were leaving. "I come back after forty years, or sometimes thirty," Horkos replied. Believing himself to be free from danger, the man returned the following morning and swore that he had never received the deposit.  Almost immediately, Horkos arrived to execute the perjurer by throwing him off a cliff. Protesting, the man asked why the god had said he was not coming back for years when in fact he did not grant even a day's reprieve. Horkos replied, "You should also know that if somebody intends to provoke me, I am accustomed to come back again the very same day."” | Wiki
