Sisyphus — Thanks to my friend in Longmont, Colorado for buying this framed print from Tales of the Greeks. The striking image captures the endless uphill struggle of the myth; thrilled it has a new home. buff.ly/5ooAWfC #GreekMyth #Art

I always seem to default to the Minotaur whenever something mythological comes up. Just a quick little study this time around.

CACADAEMON

What if the Minotaur was never really a monster? This video explores a darker political interpretation of the famous Greek myth: the Labyrinth as a show of state power and the Minotaur as the terrifying symbol that made that work. #minotaur #greekmyth https://youtu.be/yKgku7NxTTs?si=5id6vpgtWUrjJoEE

https://www.fromoldbooks.org/Meredith-Lucile/pages/215-wheel-of-ixion/

In Greek mythology, King Ixion was spared punishment by Zeus, but took advantage by trying to seduce his wife Hera, and was punished by being tied to a burning rotating wheel in the underworld for eternity.

The picture here is scanned from the 1882 book Lucile, by Edward Robert Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, in which it’s referenced as a reminder, a caution against illicit love.

What did Jordan propose we do with the #serpens / serpent brand?

Serpent's Womb--an #RPG #VideoGame where you ARE #Echidna -- the mother of monsters herself!!

While I have some *notes* about the proposed title, I'd love to see more Echidna representation!!

Bought Homer’s Odyssey (cheaply) in Germany in 2019 on a GIMP meetup. Maybe it’s a good time to post some scans :-) The bookseller turned quite hostile when i mentioned the Web, said the Web was putting him out of business.

Apollo to Marsyas: “come on baby, fight my lyre.”

Scylla. More details from my Odyssey piece. My design for Scylla is a mix of her different descriptions in the different translations of the myths; a woman, a serpent, dog-like. Blood stained and vicious. A riff on the classic ochre and black ancient Greek ceramics. #art #GreekMyth #Odyssey

#MythologyMonday let's talk about King Lycaon...

King Lycaon had 50 sons. He killed one of his sons & fed him to Zeus (because... idk something about wanting to test Zeus's omniscience... or something?)

Zeus was so upset (which is sort of rich coming from this guy), he turned King Lycaon into a wolf.
