*Notes: I love making comics but find the writing process difficult, this is something I need to work on, as I have so many ideas but struggle to write them out. I stumbled upon Lucian's Dialogues on Tumblr and thought his charming, tongue-in-cheek style would be a good way for me to practice my comic-making. :')

"Lucian of Samosata was a Greek satirist who flourished in the region of Commagene near Syria in the C2nd A.D. He was the author of numerous works, which include: The Dialogues of the Gods, Dialogues of the Sea Gods, and Dialogues of the Dead."

I opted for a simple color scheme because as much as I love full-color comics, it would take me so much longer to get this done.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

Surprise attack! Talk about whatever you’re really into right now! Can be anything just tell us about what you’re personally passionate about and have been looking for an excuse to rant about! >:D

I want to ramble about Hyacinthus of Sparta, but right now I don't have the time and energy to write an essay about him.

So, have this iceberg meme summarizing everything I know or am still researching about him!
