Greek Mythology From A To Z:

Iris by William Savage Cooper (1893)

Something was in that Spartan water 💀

Nestor after returning to his homeland after the Trojan war

Hello, yes. After a year without uploading and in, what I feel, one of the weirdest ‘fandom’ twists, I’ve gone from obsessing over 80s musicals about anthropomorphic cats and trains to being obsessed with ancient books and plays. What can I say, the duality of man. (not that the cats and trains are fully gone, they never will).

Anyways, this low effort meme I made way to late at night is my application form to my fellow mythology and epic cycle girlies.

Telemachus: And then, I went to Sparta and met your best friend-

Odysseus: Diomedes was in Sparta?

Telemachus: No, your other best friend.

Odysseus: Agamemnon’s ghost?

Telemachus: No, his brother-

Odysseus: Castor? That’s Agamemnon’s brother in law silly.

Telemachus: No, the person you went to Troy for.

Odysseus: Aw, Helen said we were best friends? That’s sweet.

Telemachus: No, her husband.

Odysseus: I always knew Paris liked me deep-down.

Norse mythology from A to Z:

[T] - Týr is a war god, but also the god who, more than any other, presides over matters of law and justice.

Deimos:(gleefully) A hit, eh? You want us to make em suffer? Or just end it, quick and quiet-like?

Zeus:Nah, nothin' permanent... just, like, give him a little taste of fear. I guess you can break something small... like a toe...

Deimos: We can take out his tongue..

Phobos:(with relish) With a knife!

Deimos:Or remove his heart...

Phobos:(with great relish) Yeah, with a knife!

Deimos:A bigger knife!

Phobos:(with greater relish) Fucking knife!

Zeus:(a touch uneasy) Yeeeeahhhhhhh.... you guys....are....kinda creepy. I think this may be a stupid idea. Hey, Ares, do you want to call the spooky twins home before I throw them there?

Ares: Come boys....

Phobos and Deimos: (Slinks away creepily)

Norse mythology from A to Z:

[N] - Nótt - is night personified, one of the first giants, grandmother of Thor.

Norse mythology from A to Z:

[V] - Vǫrðr is a warden spirit, believed to follow from birth to death the soul (hugr) of every person.

A wild Artemis and Apollo appear. 🌿

I wanted to depict them before their debut on Olympus. If I could go back I would redraw them with more animal skins in their clothing to really add that touch of wildness... but ah well, there's always next time.
