Well I made this fanart based on Mythology, it is nothing canon, it is just fan art with Greek mythology. Actually, the curse that the goddess Athena put on her priestess Medusa always seemed very strange to me. So for this fan art it occurred to me that what if it wasn't Athena who put the curse, if not someone who had her energy? , since Ashtar being a being the twin ray of Athena I imagine that he has the same energy and also does not stop being a man and perhaps when trying to seduce the priestess she rejected him and believing that Poseidon managed to seduce the young woman, which that he couldn't do, so he got so mad at the girl that he cursed her so that no one else could see her beauty.

However, Athena did not find out about such a fact and she knew that one of her priestesses was said to be more beautiful than her but she never knew what happened to her, but she was very happy to know that Meduza was no longer competing with her , Athena received the head of Meduza as a gift from the hero Perseus since he used it on his shield because the head of Meduza still beheaded had magical properties

well as I said it was something that occurred to me for this fan art it's nothing canon it's just fan art with a little bit of mythology

According to mythology Medusa in Mythology was the only mortal woman of the three gorgons, that is, the three daughters of Forcis and Ceto. She is the Gorgon par excellence and in addition to this, she was the most beautiful of all, but she was denoted by the goddess Athenea, so she decided to become a priestess of the temple dedicated to her, Such was her physical attractiveness and purity that a God as Poseidon fell in love with her, however, she resisted the attempts of seduction of the god, psoeidon had a personal quarrel with the goddess Athenea and therefore the idea of sposeer her priestess became an obsession, so tired of to be rejected by Medusa, the god decides to forcefully force her, desperate, Medusa runs to the temple of Athenea, Poseidon grabs the young man and possesses her in the same temple, in front of the statue of the Goddess Athenea, then, after the violation of Athena appears enraged and decides to cruelly punish Medusa,

for the Goddess,  punishing poseidon was not right since she considered her act to be of the nature of the entities males

but I consider Medusa guilty for suppurately seducing Poseidon, and bringing dishonor to the temple and to the Goddess herself, Athenea curses Medusa, transforming her into a soulless monster, with large fangs, metallic hands and eyes filled with a light capable of petrifying everyone. to look at them. Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, envied Medusa's beautiful mane and, therefore, removed it and replaced it with snakes.

In this way, all the natural beauty of Medusa was transformed and turned into a true monster that could only live in the most distant lands, next to Hades or the Underworld.

In addition, anyone who saw this woman in her eyes would be immediately petrified, Medusa, was persecuted by brave warriors who were her head as a trophy, but all of them were turned into stone

Det er vanskelig å si fordi det er mange skapninger jeg liker! Nøkken liker jeg godt, men jeg liker også huldre og nisser og andre skapninger fra nordiske folkeeventyr. Og jeg liker pegasi fra gresk mytologi og! Jeg ønsket meg alltid en pegasus da jeg var barn.

明るい青です。

Tusen takk for spørsmålene! / 質問ありがとうございます！

Difficult to say as there are a lot of mythical creatures I like! I quite like The Neck, but I also like huldre and sprites and other creatures from nordic folklore. And I like pegasi from Greek mythology! I always wanted a pegasus when I was little.

envelope: What colour is the sky where you are right now?

It's bright blue.

Thank you for the questions!

Bathory - Hammerheart

Spotify

Ett till Bathory album, en till målning. Den här gången Hammerheart, som pryds av Frank Dicksees The Funeral of a Viking. Med hänsyn till att Hammheart får anses vara det första viking metal-albumet känns valet av omslag något ironiskt. Om det finns någon sådan baktanke förblir osagt. Att Dicksees målning är effektfull och Bathorys musik värdig att porträttera den, råder det dock ingen tvekan om. Geten är offrad till Oden och alla hammarhjärtan är välkomna in i hans hall.

Meningslösa intron har jag muttrat en del om innan här på bloggen och frestelsen att räkna början på “Shores in Flames” till kategorin är stor. här får vi ta hänsyn till faktum att albumet släpptes 1990. Dessutom räddas introt av att själva låten är otrolig. När refrängen skrålköras, Qourthon gastar ‘FIRE’ och låtens solo bryter ut är Hammerhearts storhet obestridbar. Sen fortsätter eposet i ytterligare tre låtar med samma kvalitéer. “Song to Hall up High” bryter av innan resterande två metallåtar, här gör Qourthon sin starkaste insats rensång. Tyvärr kan detsamma inte sägas om “One Rode to Asa Bay”, här är rensången bitvis riktigt svajig och kan bli något pekoral. Precis som riffen är produktionen guld. Jag kan inte sätta fingret på exakt vad det är, men något omisskänligt eget och unikt ligger över den. Kanske är det balansen mellan skitigt och rent, slamrigt och kontrollerat, i vilket fall har den alltid stått ut för mig. Texterna hade kunnat vara albumets akilleshäl, engelskan är inte den bästa, många fraser och textrader återkomer i olika tappning. Återigen är den historiska kontexten viktig, 1990 hade metalband mest gjort strölåtar om nordisk mytologi och vikingatiden.

Hammerhearts tematik var något nytt och originellt för sin tid. Eventuella grammatiska missöden samt borttappade sångtoner vägs upp av karaktär och hjärta. Det är omöligt att inte dras med i körerna på “Home of Once Brave” eller riffen på “Baptise in Fire and Ice”. Det är helt enkelt ytterligare ett mästerverk från Bathory vi har att göra med. I år har Qourthon varit död i 13 år, jag påminns om det varje gång jag ser The Funeral of a Viking eller lyssnar på Song to Hall up High. Hans arv lever vidare.

‘Northern wind take my song up high. To the hall of glory in the sky. So its gates shall greet me open wide. When my time has come to die.’

/Mattias Niklasson
