Hera and Iris

“The statue of Hera is seated on a throne; it is huge, made of gold and ivory, and is a work of Polycleitus. She is wearing a crown with Graces and Seasons worked upon it, and in one hand she carries a pomegranate and in the other a sceptre. About the pomegranate I must say nothing, for its story is somewhat of a holy mystery. The presence of a cuckoo seated on the sceptre they explain by the story that when Zeus was in love with Hera in her maidenhood he changed himself into this bird, and she caught it to be her pet. This tale and similar legends about the gods I relate without believing them, but I relate them nevertheless.”

Pausanias, Description of Greece 2. 17. 4

“So she (Iris) spake and seated her beside the golden throne, even as a hunting hound of Artemis which, when it hath ceased from the swift chase, sitteth by her feet, and its ears are erect, ever ready to receive the call of the goddess. Like thereto the daughter of Thaumas sat beside her throne. And she never forgetteth her seat, not even when sleep lays upon her his forgetful wing, but here by the edge of the great throne with head a little bent aslant she sleeps. Never does she unloose her girdle or her swift hunting-boots lest her mistress give her some sudden command.”

Callimachus, Hymn 4 to Delos 216 ff

heyo! back on my bs (biscuit soliloquy) with another art idea;

was reading about iris instead of paying attention in class as one does lol and found this gem and instantly thought of u hehe

THEYRE COUSINS >:D iris and aeolus shenaningans pls and ty!!!

also from todays reading: thetis is actually super cool and sweet (she took in hephaestus after hera yeeted him and also dionysus) and hermes has astronomy as a domain of his which i think is pretty cool. also! disease & sudden deaths are surprisingly an apollo and artemis thing. whodve thunk :)

anyway tysm, enjoy, and take care!!
