Hello! I really like your Greek gods art and followed you after reblogging a few pieces to my side blog.

Really important question: who is your favorite Greek god?

God bless you ♥️ 🙏

Hey-hey! Thank you so much for the follow and reblogs! It makes my day every time I see that someone likes my drawings! ^-^/💜

To answer your question: it's Apollo, Dionysus and Hermes. I can't say exactly which of them I love more and which I love less, because it varies between them every time. So, all three of them are my favorites!

Out of the lesser-known gods, I also really like Soteria! She's the goddess of Safety, Preservation, and Deliverance from Harm.

She definitely deserves more love and recognition.

🌿 BONUS!

And here's a small bonus for the question, 'cause it gave me a great excuse to practice the body types I imagine for the Chaotic Trio!

Hope you'll have a great day!

Hesiod has a version of Philones in his writing????

Yes and no. Unfortunately, the answer is a bit more complicated than just saying 'Hesiod wrote this fragment about Philonis,' since, as far as I know, we can't prove with absolute certainty that he was the author of the 'Catalogue of Women' (from which the fragment originated).

But! The fragment does belong to the Hesiodic tradition, so, technically, it's not really such big of a mistake to say it's just 'from Hesiod'! Here's the fragment from the 'Catalogue of Women' in Loeb Classical Library edition, along with Philonis and her sons (and their dads!)
