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.

Greek mythology from A to Z:

[A] - Athena (Αθηνά) is the goddess of wisdom and war and the patroness of the city of Athens. She was also associated with peace and handicrafts, especially spinning and weaving.

Zeus to the Olympian Council

Zeus: Our sister Hera is pregnant!

The other gods applaud and cheer.

Zeus: I'm gonna be a dad!

Everyone stops

Hades: I was so sure this had something to do with you being unable to keep it in your pants!

Greek mythology from A to Z:

[N] - Nike (Νίκη) was the goddess of victory, depicted as having wings, hence her alternative name “Winged Goddess”.

“My God, my God, whose performance am I watching? How many people am I? Who am I? What is this space between myself and myself?”

— Fernando Pessoa, from The Book of Disquiet  (via paper-fairy)

Norse mythology from A to Z:

[S] - Sigyn is a goddess and wife of Loki.

Eva Rydin as Lucia, 1955, Sweden.

Hermes finding a lost soul 🦋

I wanted to draw Hermes in his role as psychopompos and I remember reading somewhere that butterflies represented souls in greek mythology. I'm not really sure on that but I liked the idea :)
