Today's piece is a doodle of Dionysos, who, of all the Olympians, has gotten the least play so far in the series. Don't worry, fans of the big D, he'll have his moment to shine, it's just that, as the last Olympian to ascend, a lot of the stories I've retold take place before his time on Olympus. As a matter of fact, he makes a few good appearances in Hera: The Goddess and Her Glory. This particular portrait has him looking a lot more lucid than how I normally choose to depict him. he's a pretty wild guy, and I like to try and capture that in his appearance.
who is the blond at the far left George?
ReplyDeletesorry I meant on the picture that opens the blog
ReplyDeleteThat's Hebe, daughter of Hera and Zeus and the goddess of youth. She makes her first appearance in the upcoming Hera: The Goddess and Her Glory.
ReplyDeleteI realized that there was no link to a page about Hebe on your About the Gods Page on you website. Do you have a page about her modern legacy, planet, sacred animals/plants, roman name, symbol....etc? Thank you very much.
