Hyacinthus, once he has levelled up enough from godling to god. This took me forever. I can't draw as much as I used to, and the past moth I've been relapsing with my injuries. So its slow healing. We are closing in on the second year anniversary of my many injuries XD

Dionysian groove 🎧📀💿

With DJ Apollo Belvedere as a brand commission for two of my lovely friends, @aimee-maroux - a Greek myth writer and @bfire92! Trying to take things much more slowly and drawing more minimalistic then.

From now on, early access of my illustration will be currently available in my Patreon at the end of every month, before I posted to here and my shop.

Damn, Tisiphone!

Replying to some comments to Ch.4 page 35 which rightfully questioned and lamented Orestes’ most evident lack of sleep... Alekto is a tid-bit too touchy-feely for him, and Tisiphone snores, the both of them bickers. But at least at night the telephone’s silent!

@tangent101 :   Yeah, don’t trust the person who lies and cheats their way into your home. (Thank you for sharing your comics!)

@aimee-maroux : I know he is a lying prick but he looks SO TERRIBLE I feel bad for Orestes D: When was the last time he slept? As for the ship, I feel like Orestes is not bringing his A game here 🤨  The fact that Orestes is laughing absolutely prooves my theory that Dylan is Pylades, what else would make him so happy, eh? Eh?

@bfire92​ : Gods someone let the dude sleep!

Demeter/Hecate - You're a fan of a-gnosis and just want your body type and sexuality represenfed in media. Also you believe in the inherit homoeroticism that is two MILFs getting it on with each other

There is still a meter of snow outside. It makes me think- what is Hyperborea like? What do we know about it? When did Apollo return?

Apollo has mostly likely returned from Hyperborea already! The Theophania at Delphi was celebrated in the month of Bysios - which roughly extends till mid - March. So sunny boy is back, though he might be taking his sweet time to make it warm enough for the snow to melt.

We know quite a bit about Hyperborea actually. You will be amazed by the amount of details we have about the people, the land, the lifestyle - all from canon sources. You ready?

The topography

Hyperborea is a mystical relam of eternal spring, where wars, diseases and deaths never occured. It's sort of a continent, surrounded on the North by Oceanus (the earth-encircling water), and on the south by the peaks of the Rhipaion mountains, which are said to be bitterly cold and impassable. These peaks are guarded by the Griffins (this why they're sacred to Apollo), and in the valleys live a tribe of one eyed men called the Armisapi. And beneath the slopes of Rhipaion, there is another realm called Pterophoros, the land of eternal winter, which is the home of Boreas. It is said that Atlas stands holding the world in or somewhere near Hyperborea, and the garden of Hesperides (sacred to Hera) was also situated there. The distance to moon was significantly less from Hyperborea.

The main river of Hyperborea is the Eridanos. You know, the same river which was formed when Apollo cried his eyes out after Aslcepius died. The river contains ambers, because Apollo’s tears are ambers, and also because the riverside is lined with amber crying poplar trees (remember Phaeton, the son of Helios who died? Yeah, those trees are his grieving sisters, the Heliadae). These trees give out shirll cries during the night time. Hyperborean swans lived in this river. Into Eridanos flows another river called Rhodanos, which rises from the ends of the earth where mansions of Nyx stand. One end of Rhodanos joins Oceanus, and another end of it flows to the mortal world, into the Ionian sea and the Sardinian sea.

The people and their lifestyle

The Hyperboreans are the children of Gaia and hence immortal, unless they wish to die. They have their own language, which was unknown to the greeks. And even though they're described as "brutish beasts", they are said to be quite friendly. Most of them are singers and musicians, and the maidens there are dancers too. Even though 2 harvest crops are cultivated every year, most of the countryside is filled with beautiful, dense forests that are called the "gardens of Apollo". The inhabitants mostly live in woods and groves as well. Games are also conducted regularly. It might be the Pythian games or the Olympic games. Or both. The land is ruled by 3 priests of Apollo - the gigantic Boreades (children of Boreas), who live in the Riphaion peaks and come down only when it is time to make sacrifices for Apollo. Shamans also lived in Hyperborea, and were followers of Apollo.

Apollo in Hyperborea

Apollo is said to visit Hyperborea every winter and stay there for 3 months. He came to the place riding on swans or griffins. The capital of Hyperborea had a very beautiful circular temple dedicated to Apollo where sacrifices to him were offered. Music was played using flutes and lyres and different kinds of instruments, and it is said that songs and dances praising Apollo were performed almost all the time there. The swans would join the people during the recitation of the hymns and sing melodiously along with them. Hecatombs of assess were sacrificed to Apollo, and Apollo is said to have enjoyed the "rampant lewdness" of these beasts. (one translation says "arousal" instead of lewdness so take it however you want.) And every 19 years (year of Meton), when the stars return to their original position in the heavens (whatever that means), Apollo himself is said to give a special performance by playing on his cithara and dancing for a few hours, starting from spring equinox till the rising of the Pleiades (which most probably means heliacal rising of the stars).

And that's the basics of Hyperborea! It was considered by many as an actual place rather than a mystical realm, but historians have failed to locate it accurately. It's such a well detailed realm, shame that people are sleeping on it. Anyway, there's more about myths related to Hyperborea on theoi.com page, where you'll also find all the details which I collected from the various passages written by various authors.

#Apollo #Greek mythology #Greek gods #I know you might think I took this long to answer because I was searching for Hyperborea #But no #I know all about HB by heart #What took me this long was to know what month Apollo's return was celebrated #Boiiiii those ancient calenders gave me a hard time #Because every state had its own calendar #And because the time of his return and departure was determined by the positions of constellations at Delphi (lyra cygnus & delphinus) #which is again interesting but I don't think I can fit that info in tags lol #So anyway #Apollo has been back since mid march #The snow might melt anytime now #Or maybe not considering how now he has the urgent job of healing people :P #Apollo info #Asks #Bfire92

Just what is the Mythomagic series going to be about, exactly?

Seeing as the Mythomagic game doesn’t really have a plot (according to my knowledge), I’m planning on creating an anthology series based on each mythology & try to incorporate aspects based on the game tournaments in Austin, Texas into the story, such as moves & damaging power. The first 2-3 seasons will be based on Greco-Roman mythos & will hopefully be about the creation of Patrocles & Achilles’s relationship because yes they will be gay, & bleed into the Iliad, seeing as it features nearly all the gods

Hermes was being annoying so Apollo shot him with the Corona virus. Apollo took a picture of him (like one of those bad dog photos), Hermes made the sign, he might have purposely spelled somethings wrong. For @bfire92

Things that also happened. Dionysus driving Hermes crazy. Dionysus getting the virus because he couldn’t go 3 days without Playing Mario cart with Hermes. Hermes plotting his revenge against Apollo. Hermes no longer plotting his revenge because Apollo got 2 black eyes from Iris and Thanatos. Why you may ask, well Olympus has gone to chaos because Hermes can’t work right now, Iris and Thanatos tried to split the work between them but on to of the work they already had it was to much. So they punched Apollo for doing something so stupid. Ya it’s just a really big mess.

Thanks for adding on to this @greek-suitehearts and @aimee-maroux bfire92 this was very funny thanks for the request.

New chapter is UP!

It's HERE: https://archiveofourown.org/works/19067917/chapters/99013398 Did you know Three Gods and a New Apartment now has the word count of a pretty long book? We have rounded 150 000 words! So if you've read the whole thing, you can add it to your book count. Good for you! Not as fancy for me, as I am pretty sure I put a lot less work into editing my fanfiction than @neil-gaiman does editing his books. But I am still very happy with this. When I was a young flame, my dream was to become a published novelist. I ended up putting a lot of pressure on myself that I had to write with the goal of being able to earn money on it for it to be of any value. But once I put that aside and started writing for fun, I've been much happier. I want to make a shout-out to all those who read, like and comment on my story. For those of you who have tagged along for this now 3 year old tale. Besides writing, I've also used this as inspiration for practicing my drawing skills, so a big thanks to those of you who don't read TGNA, but still like my art! Remember that you can also find me on Instagram.

At the foot of Mt. Kyllini 🌳🏞

A commission that I made for @bfire92, @hermes-left-nut and other future Hermes lovers alike. Prints of them will be available as high quality glicée prints in my Inprnt shop soon, or as multiple forms of accessories at Redbubble in case if you’re looking for more alternative and experimental choices.

The background was based on the actual Mt. Kyllini itself, Hermes’ birthplace in Corinthia, the Peloponnese region of Greece; while the surrounding Pleaides (including his mother, the eldest Maia and his aunties Electra, Taygete, Alycone, Celaeno, Merope, Sterope) were based on Archaic Greek “Kore” statues, whose hairstyles & clothing similar to neighboring Egypt and the Middle East, flavored with a bit earlier Minoan/Mycenaean that still remained despite the catastrophic Greek Dark Ages. (Rather than the usual styles of “Ancient Greece” we often know of & associated with today.)

Some replies to Page 40, Chapter 4. Aka: And Finally, Apollo.

tangent101 Hee! I love the “bored nonchalance” aspect of this! Thank you for sharing your comics :)

sigeel ahhh Apollo!! I was waiting to see him <3

He made himself wait and came in fashionably late with an aura of ethereal detachment. Glad it was appreciated... We kinda wanted him to enter soberly, but still grandiosely. Dionysos would have told the Muses to play some epic soundtrack in the background, but not everybody can be the god of theatre, right.

littleicecreamuniverse I LOVE this story! The colors are soooo gorgeous and I'm IN LOVE with the plot so far! You! You, who are reading this! YOU HAVE TO READ THIS STORY TOO!! GO GO GO !

Aaaaaaaaah but thank you! <3 You’re so sweet, we’re really glad you like our work! Hope you’ll keep on liking it, let us know what you think of it!

bfire92 This whole page is so beautiful
