#apollos lyre

[exhausted-undead]

okay so I finished this piece in ibispaint and fucking. accidentally cropped some of it on the canvas without making a duplicate. so I lost the high quality version of this and I was mourning at like 3am but we move on

heres erik having his heart torn out - I don't really feel like my art shows all that much emotion usually, so this was out of my comfort zone! lemme know what y'all yhink

"For the spell of Apollo's lyre is overwhelming, and in its delightfulness it outdoes every charm of Aphrodite."

Zeus wecoming Apollo back to Olympus after his winter trip to Hyperborea. I based it on the decoration on this mycenaean breastplate from the archeological museum of Olympia.

I don't remember what the museum said about the men behind Zeus, but about the women with Apollo there was speculation of them being either muses, Hyperborean maidens or Leto and Artemis.

"The Gate to Hades" (part 3 in my Orpheus and Eurydice series)

Part3: But Orpheus is not satisfied to sit in solitary mourning. There was a great injustice in the death of his love Eurydice. If the beasts and rocks of the wild woods of Olympia bow before his song, what is to stop him for persuading the spirits of the underworld? Perhaps he can even persuade the King Hades to take pity on him and his lost love. With this determination, he receives directions to the dark gate from the forest nymphs and sets out. Many days later, standing before that gaping black maw, Orpheus shivers. He might never return to the land of the living. He steps forward. He has nothing left to lose.

In Greek literary sources we have varying references to the location of the entrance to underworld. In Homer’s Odyssey, Odysseus must travel to Hades to  perform a “Nekyia” ceremony to commune with the dead to receive prophecies. Circe gives Odysseus the vaguest of directions; “…once your ship has crossed flowing Ocean, drag it ashore at Persephone’s groves, on the level beach where tall poplars grow, willows shed their fruit, right beside deep swirling Oceanus.  Then you must go to Hades’ murky home, where Periphlegethon and Cocytus, a stream which branches off theriver Styx, flow into Acheron.” – translation by Ian Johnston.

Some scholars believe Homer’s description of the location is based on the real-world temple of the “Nekromanteion” (oracle of the dead) in Ancient Epirus (Northwest Greece). This was a temple of necromancy dedicated to Hades and Persephone where devotees could commune with dead spirits, and was believed to be the entrance to Hades. The temple was located at the meeting point of three rivers; the Acheron (river of woe), Pyriphlegethon (river of fire), and Cocytus (river of lamentation).

Thanks for reading and looking! If you share this image I'll swim the river styx to.give you a high five! Xoxo
