Hey folks, this image of Apollo was done for a private commission. Xoxo

The following text is reposted from my previous Apollo Olympians image.

“Phoebus, of you even the swan sings with clear voice to the beating of his wings, as he alights upon the bank by the eddying river Peneus; and of you the sweet-tongued minstrel, holding his high-pitched lyre, always sings both first and last…And so hail to you, lord! I seek your favor with my song.” (-Homeric Hymn, translated by H.G. Evelyn white)

APOLLO (uh-PAH-low), God of prophecy, oracles, music, art, protector of and disease of boys and men, and archery. Just as his twin sister Artemis is patron to women and girls, Apollo is both protector, and killer from disease of boys and men. In my Illustration the god holds his bow and arrows behind, while he strums the lyre gifted to him by trickster Hermes. Near the sun flies his ally and divine messenger, a white raven. The column on the right is capped with a cow, representing his sacred animal as a god of herds. The serpent Python sits dead at his feet, killed by Apollo’s arrow so that the god could take over the Delphi temple location. The temple complex sits beneath the god, while on the far right, the Pythia (Apollo’s oracle priestess) sits upon a tripod, breathing the hallucinatory gasses seeping up from the earth to get her prophecies which she bestows upon visitors.

The laurel tree has associations with Apollo because the god, chasing a Naiad (water nymph) named Daphne call out to Gaia (mother earth) for help, who transformed the nymph into a laurel tree, which the god adopted as his sacred tree. In book 1 of the Iliad, Apollo supports the Trojans by raining down a plague on the Greeks, and later helping Paris to kill Achilles. Apollo’s cruelty is shown in Ovid’s mythical lyre contest with the inventor of the flute; a satyr named Marsyas. When Apollo suggested they play their instruments upside down, the satyr lost, and was flayed (skinned) alive as punishment for his hubris.

Really happy with how she turned out! I decided to give her some naiad features, inspired by this post and it was really fun! I hc that she can breathe underwater (even though she doesn't have gills. Do naiads have gills?), although I am not sure if she can do it freely or for a limited amount of time 🤔

The fabric piece covering her chest was loosely inspired by 18th century neckerchiefs, because I wasn't sure how the Mycenaean open chest fashion would fly with the censorship here or on other platforms ¯⁠\⁠_(•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

#I can leave comments and reblog posts again #yay #the odyssey #tagamemnon #penelope #character design #my art tag #I hc that she took over Odysseus' duties while he was away and got to be a reigning queen for about 10-13 years #until the suitors took over. It's a pretty long rant and I can't fit it into tags #this is her design before that #her being a ruler wouldn't really have been possible by Homer's time because of how the ancient Greece treated women #but since the story was set in Mycenaean Greece... maybe? Just maybe she could have enough authority for the assembly to take her seriously #epic the musical #epic the musical fanart #greek mythology #maybe this hc would change as I learn more things about history #but for now it's here ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Are you insane or do you also sleep with the Mahabharata under your pillow like Alexander did with the Illiad?

Ok I’m about to ramble about some Homarge selfship lore crap SO 👏

Bo met Homer and Marge sometime after Lisa was born, WAY before Maggie was born. They fell in love with him and got together in a polycule thingy. Bo always wanted to adopt children of his own (he can’t physically have his own kids due to wacky genetics) but when he got with Homer and Marge, he accepted just being Bart and Lisa’s step dad because Homer and Marge didn’t want any more kids.

BUT as anyone who is familiar with The Simpsons knows, Homer and Marge DO end up accidentally getting pregnant with a third child. So Bo is like “I’m happy for you guys! I can’t wait to have another step kid” and then Homer and Marge tell him “you should be happy for yourself too, it’s your kid as well” and when Bo is confused they tell him that he means so much to them now that they’ve come to see him as an equal in their relationship, and they know that he always wanted a child of his own so they offer to let him be the literal third parent to Maggie, even if it’s not by blood. No pressure tho :>

Please I have such a soft spot for this scenario :’] I might write a short one-shot fic of it. And post it. Here. With an art pic to go with it :3

"Homecoming,"

In this scene, of Aeschylus's Greek tragic play "Agamemnon", King Agamemnon has finally arrived back to his palace in Argos (Mycenea) after conquering Troy. He arrives in a chariot with his spoil of war; CASSANDRA (a Trojan slave girl cursed by Apollo with the power of prophecy - but that none shall believe her visions).

Agamemnon's wife, CLYTEMNESTRA meets them at the palace doors, obstructing his entrance. (The chorus has previously related the tale of Agamemnon sacrificing his daughter, Iphigenia, ten years prior on the way to Troy. So this confrontation is eagerly anticipated). She showers her husband with rhetoric of love and respect, then rolls out fine embroidered cloth (with fragile red dye) and then convinces him that only by walking barefoot on the tapestry will he prove his high worth and placate her to enter.

Professor Peter meineck, in his "Modern Scholar" audio lecture series: "Greek Drama", points to the symbolism when he says "...Agamemnon is wading through blood of his sacrificed daughter," and "...trampling the wealth of the house." Professor Meienck also thinks this tapestry is a menstrual image representing Clytemnestra's power (he even mentions that the ancient Greek word for door was also a slang word for vagina). So when Agamemnon relents, he unknowingly goes to his death. He now represents the sacrificial bull of the Greek new year "Buphonia" Festival.

Random Fun fact: this scene in this play is where we get the concept of "rolling out the red carpet" for honored guests.

homer really said, every victory on the battlefield is a grieving father at home. and this is not a reason for the war to stop. and this is not a reason to stop telling stories about war. but you become fully human at the moment you recognize the total humanity of your enemy because it is only when you can see that that you can comprehend the humanity of your own mortal self. and like. three thousand years later and the world has yet to top that

#uh oh girls she's homerposting again #did i have a tag for this episodes #homer #?#we'll find out
