I had seen a joke about Orpheus and Eurydice, but looking back, I don't laugh so much anymore

Celtigar and dayne hairstyles pls???
Hairstyles of Houses Dayne and Celtigar
Tumblr media
So the Dayne’s are dornish so they keep the Greco-Roman inspired hairstyles but as opposed to most other dornish houses who wear gold or copper they wear silver. I have a headcannon that I got from a fic that the dornish are expert glass artists so they wear slot of glass accessories, the daynes however opt for amethysts and tanzanite.
Tumblr media
House Celtigar is of Valyrian descent, their hairstyles are unlike the the Targaryen’s however and have a strong stormlands and crown lands influence with elaborate updo’s and marine inspired, especially crustacean, headpieces. I hc that like the Velaryon’s they trade a lot so they are a richer house.

The story of Callisto and Artemis in the style of Hades (because I’m delusional).
I think they were lovers (Ovid says otherwise but the ancients hit patrochilles with the “historians say they were best friends” beam so….)

I like to think that Callisto begged Zagreus to set up a final meeting with Artemis to make amends and say her goodbyes — for closure she says… it’s probably time for her to let go of the past and for her to breathe a little… right?

Deserted by Eros, her lover, Psyche bemoans her curiosity and its consequences. Agitated yet demure, she is comforted by Pan, the otherwise frivolous god of nature.

Albert Racinet's "Polychrome Ornament," 1869 PLATE VIII. GRECO- ROMAN ANTIQUITIES. POMPEIAN STYLE. DECORATIVE ARCHITECTURE.
THE purely decorative architecture, which we find represented on the inner walls of the apartments in Herculaneum and Pompeii, seems to belong less to the domain of reality than to that of fancy. Tradition attributes to the painter Lidius, in the time of Augustus, the invention of these architectural compositions, so elegant though so fantastic; and they are frequently intermingled with maritime scenes and landscapes, or animated by various figures. Executed by Greek artists, or by Etruscans working under their influence, they were highly appreciated by the Romans, who found in them the elegance and poetry of Greek art, in place of their own stereotyped forms of architecture, of which vaulted ceilings and arcades were the most striking characteristics. The principal subject of the plate is a painted wall from the Casa delle Suonatrici, taken from the great work of Zahn: Les plus beau, ornaments et les tableaux les plus remarquables de Pompei, d' Herculanum et de Stabice; Berlin, 1828-30. It is considered one of the finest of its kind. The two single figures have been added to the design; they do not exist in the original. One of them, that of the dancing girl, on the dark ground, was discovered in the Torre dell' Annunziata. It is the finest of the twelve figures which were found in the same apartment, and is similar to those which Pliny calls Libiclines. The little winged genius, with Bacchic attributes, which occupies the upper medallion, was found in the excavations at Civita. These two figures are taken from the great work of Mazois: Les ruines de Pompei ( 4 vols folio; Firmin Didot).
