Hyacinthus: Oh my Apollo. Zephyrus: Don't you mean 'oh my gods'? Hyacinthus: You worship your god, I'll worship mine.
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.

Illustration from 1913 showing Pythagoras teaching a class of women. Many prominent members of his school were women and some modern scholars think that he may have believed that women should be taught philosophy as well as men. (Source)
Many of his associates were reminded by Pythagoras, by most clear and evident indications, of the former life which their soul had lived before it was bound to their present body, and he demonstrated, by indubitable arguments that he had been Euphorbus, the son of Panthus, who conquered Patroclus. He frequently sang the Homeric verses pertaining to himself, to the music of his lyre.

It will frequently happen that little characteristic actions of a person, such as the way he moves his fingers, will lead the way to karmic connections far sooner than any outstanding activities he may have undertaken and that are from every other aspect of more consequence.

“Only that man is ripe for understanding the truth concerning immortality, who could also endure it if the opposite were true; if he could bear that the question regarding immortality was answered with a ‘no.’ If a man is himself to bring down (selber ausmachen will) anything from the spiritual world regarding immortality,“ so said the Pythagoreans, "he must not long for immortality; for while there is longing, what he says regarding it is not objective. Opinions regarding the life beyond birth and death if they are to have any value can only come from those who could lie down peacefully in the grave even if there was no immortality.” This was taught in the olden times in the Pythagorean schools when the teacher wished to make his pupils realize how difficult it was to be sufficiently ripe to accept any truth. To be ripe enough to receive a truth and to state it from oneself requires a very special preparation, and must consist in the person being entirely without interest in the said truth.

[Zarathustra] was reborn as Zarathas or Nazarathos, and he became the teacher of Pythagoras, who himself was reincarnated as one of the three Wise Men of the East and became one of the disciples of Jesus of Nazareth.

Norse mythology from A to Z:
[O] - Odin
Lady Athena and the little cat chilling on her tholos when I visited Delphi.
Eos ✨ Goddess of the Dawn
Eos was the Greek goddess of the dawn, who rose each day from the east to disperse the mists of night with her light rays. She signaled the coming of Helios, her brother, to gods and mortals alike, and accompanied him on his path across the sky.
Mythology frequently represents her as abducting attractive youths - stealing them away to ravish in a distant land. Some say this is because Aphrodite cursed her with an unquenchable desire after learning that the goddess had slept with Ares.
