Thracian Merman (Shark-man?)

The Ancient Greeks named their South Eastern European neighbors the Thracians. The soldiers of Thrace were particularly sought after as mercenaries, and eventually became a permanent Roman client-state. This illustration is based on depictions of Thracian peltast (light infantry man, named after their shield design), in the 5th to 4th century BC, and pottery finds depicting Thracian tattoos.

Greeks, Romans, and literally any culture that exists or has existed: Our god/s shall not be defied, they're powerful beings and above us humans, they're not your servants-

Thracians: We shoot arrows at the sky when it rains and threaten our god.

ღ Saints Cosmas & Damian (not twins/brothers, but lovers)

ღ Daily life of two physicians

ღ Lower spice (not graphic)

ღ Questioning religiosity while Respecting it (perfect for LGBTQP+ who are Christians, or who want to see if faith and love can co-exist/want another take on it)

-> My background: Agnostic, LGBTQIAP+, autistic with a profound hyperfocus on Catholicism and 'how humanity works'

Tropes

(Damian is on the left, Cosmas is on the right)

~blurb~

They were called brothers to hide a love the world would burn.

Set in the Roman Empire, this is a glimpse into the frailties of the daily life of two would-be healers. Cosmas, coming from a wealthy family from Antioch, is mostly quiet and deeply religious. Damian, born in Kallithea, is loud, playful, and secretly gentle.

An accident makes them both meet each other's soul, little by little.

Inspired by the biography of Saints Cosmas and Damian.
