When noble long-suffering Odysseus saw how old and worn and burdened with grief he looked, he halted under a tall pear-tree, tears in his eyes.

Me: dislikes Theseus, likes minotaur, likes papercraft
Me: makes entire Labyrinth and Knossos Palace paper Playset so can kill Theseus at hands of minotaur
They also interlock to make one big Playset:
And by the way the Labyrinth walls move 👀 (and you can use it as a game board - game instructions included)
And also it’s also available in colour:
You can get your own here (https://greekmythcomixshop.Wordpress.com) if you fancy it. (These things are how I keep the rest of my main educational site free and free from ads)

Get ready with me to build a giant wooden horse
Did I just spend 3 days drawing that eyeliner meme? Yes. Yes, I did.
I'm very late to this year's inktober but nevertheless I'm here))) I decided to combine the official prompt list with the classicstober here, specifically prompt 15 - dagger and prompt 20 - Odysseus. I don't know, if I will draw any other prompts, but this one was fun and I hope you like it :)
The dagger was based on Mycenaean daggers in the national archeological museum in Athens and some Mycenaean dagger reproductions I saw, the scene depicted is Odysseus hunting Athena' boar. I hc this dagger was either a gift from Athena herself or from Autolycus, I haven't decided yet.

ClassicsTober day 6 : Medea
This took me So. Much. Time. But the process was interesting, I have to admit, I can see I got a bit better since the prior painting of Medusa so let's keep experiment ! :)
