The Evermore Grimoire: Greek Mythology

Harpies (Ἁρπθιαι) were the spirits of the wind who were often depicted as winged women, with the lower bodies of birds in Greek mythology. They were known as the ‘Hounds of Zeus’ and were despatched by Zeus (king of the gods) to snatch away people and things from the earth. Sudden and mysterious disappearances were often attributed to these winged women. The Harpies were once sent by Zeus to plague King Phineus of Thrake (Thrace) as punishment for revealing the secrets of the gods. Whenever a plate of food was set before him, they would swoop down and snatch it away, befouling any scraps left behind. When the Argonauts came to visit, the winged Boreades (sons of the god of wind, Boreas) gave chase, and pursued the Harpies to the Strophades Islands, where the goddess Iris (goddess of the rainbow) commanded them to turn back and leave the storm-spirits unharmed.

@joukaiweek 2024 Day 4 || Flight

New au because I'm sick and twisted and can't stop making them fall in love again and again

Will I dabble in this au after ship week? Highly unlikely, HOWEVER, it will lurk in my brain to play with like Barbie dolls. Sorry, you guys don't have tickets to my mental movie theater :(

Hence, I welcome yall to play around with it yourselves if you so wish! Feel free to brain dump on this post or in my ask box (whichever you feel more comfortable with) as I'd be happy to hear your takes on it ^u^)/

Here's what I've got for any crumbs of lore:

Uhhh I guess if I had to put a label on it I'd call it some kinda science vs mythos au ????

Basically, Dr. Kaiba (cause he's a scientist with a doctorate, smart boy) works at a highly classified facility (think like SCP) and finds himself assigned to a relatively new and infamous subject (it's Wheeler). The subject is tied to all kinds of rumors, which gained it quite a scary reputation, much to Kaiba's dismay. Unexpectedly, when Kaiba turns up to the job, he finds that the subject is nothing like the rumors. It even calls itself by a name: Joey.

The general idea would be a sort of freedom vs captivity struggle. Kaiba and Joey would have very conflicting perspectives, Joey feeling as though he's just here temporarily to help out and learn about the world (loosely calling himself a diplomat, albeit his trip is not official) meanwhile Kaiba fully acknowledges him as a lab subject to study that has no means of escape.

I also like the idea of Joey falling first, but Kaiba falling harder :3c

#yugioh #puppyshipping #violetshipping #joukaiweek2024 #joey wheeler #katsuya jounouchi #jounouchi katsuya #seto kaiba #science vs mythos au #yeah sure ill call it that #art #my art #ibis paint #more lore actually. with his name i think it fits with joey short for joseph since its an old name i think itd be cool to mix up mythology #and sort of connect where different myths overlap. like the idea of angels from the bible and harpies or sirens from greek myths #it implies that wayyyy back there used to be common enough encounters between their species to have earned them a spot in human tales #and kaiba is struggling to piece it all together

There's an underworld creature that made a nest on your fire escape. She's probably sentient, mostly humanoid but with large black wings and snakes for hair, and very distinctive red eyes and sharp teeth. She keep gathering the bones of the fallen to make a giant nest, which sucks, because you liked sitting on that fire escape, and there is no way you can fight her off.

As time goes on you get used to her. She chased off your landlord that one time and you've been kind of grateful to her since. You let her in sometimes and feed her raw meat from your refrigerator. She only speaks vulger Latin and homeric Greek so you can't really talk to her but she seems chill.

Eventually her eggs hatch and there are little imps all over your apartment. You like them, but they fly away pretty quickly along with their mother. You miss her when she's gone, and the landlord put up spikes sealed with the sigil of Apollo so she can't come back next winter. Still, you hope to see her perched somewhere around the city now.

April's Hot Dog Sticker Club Design: Harpy!

We know 'em and love 'em, the human-faced birds of Greek mythology. I was particularly influenced by Gerard Scarfe's designs from Hercules, with the big nose being the beak as well.

Sticker club shipments will be a wee bit late this month. I just got back from a long trip, and I need to get stamps and envelopes! Hope everyone had a great month, and continues to have a great April!

3 part illustration set about my favorite mythical creatures text in the read more

THE SIREN her song is like that of the theremin, wonderfully wobbly, and so lulling that one cannot perceive if it is man or instrument. THE SPHINX without me, all is in vain with much of me, one never seems to wane seen in gesture, heard in word occasionally, i am included with a third i am imperative to the human will when i am twisted, i am liable to kill you, who has sought me out for a long stretch of time, answer my riddle; solve my rhyme triumph or fail, i will ask you to leave through which exit, however, your loved ones may grieve THE HARPY her feathered skin is pale with insatiable hunger. eyes wide with rage, the harpy is stronger than the most powerful wind and more fierce than the vengeful tiger.
