Medusa By Alice Pike Barney

“No one can weave as well as I—not even the Goddess Athena!” Arachne boasted, unaware of who else might be listening in. 

Revisiting one of the most memorable greek myths from my childhood, the weaving contest of Arachne and Athena.

Ares: I may be thousands of years old, but I have the body of a 20 years old boy.

Aphrodite: Then show me, baby.

Ares: *walks towards the freezer*

Greek mythology from A to Z:

[H] - Hermaphroditus (Ἑρμαφρόδιτος) was the son of Hermes and Aphrodite. He was born as a boy, and was raised by naiad nymph on Mount Ida. When he reached the age of fifteen, he decided to explore further from his surroundings and eventually reached the forest of Caria near Halicarnassus. There, he met the nymph Salmacis in a pool, who was overcome with desire for the boy. However, she was rejected by him, who after thinking the nymph had left, undressed and entered the pool. Salmacis then suddenly appeared and wrapped herself around him. While he was trying to evade her, she asked the gods to be forever united with Hermaphroditus, and the gods listened to her wish. As a result, their bodies were blended into one and became a creature of two sexes.

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.

*as kids* Chiron: I just found out that my dad isn't really my dad. Chariclo: Your dad... Apollo the god who doesn't have a drop of horse or centaur blood in him? Chiron: [nods] Chariclo: Chariclo: That must have been quite a shock...

Greek mythology from A to Z:
