Chthonic Descent (#4 in my Orpheus and Eurydice series)

The Roman poet Virgil, in his poem “Georgics”, gives a lush description of Orpheus descent into Hades;

“…entering the grove gloomy with black horror, he approached the Manes (dead spirits), and the tremendous king, and the hearts that know not how to relent at human prayers. But the thin shades being stirred up by his song from the lowest mansions of Erebus moved along, and the Ghosts deprived of light… mothers and husbands, and the departed bodies of magnanimous heroes, boys and unmarried girls, and youths laid on funeral pyres before the faces of their parents, whom the black mud and squalid reeds of Cocytus, and the lake hateful with stagnant water encloses around, and styx nine times interfused restrains.” (-translation from the Latin by John Martyn.)

The word Chthonic in my title is an adjective describing something belonging to the underworld. This would be an apt time to discuss the structure and details of the ancient Greek underworld; the realm of Hades. Our oldest literary source in Homer’s “Odyssey” (700 B.C.) portrays the realm as dark, gloomy, and frightening. A place where all souls go, and lacking skin and bone; have no physical form. The shades (spirits) wander mindless, and without memory.

In Virgil’s “Aeneid” (25 B.C.) we get a much more detailed account of the geography. Our hero Aeneas pays the boatman Charon to ferry him across the river styx, and after passing the three headed guard-hound Cerberus, they eventually come to a crossroad leading to two important realms; Tartarus (an invincible fortress guarded by one of the Furies, where sinners are punished) and Elysium (a sunny paradise where pure souls pursue leisure activities).

As always thanks for looking and reading. Please share this post and I'll toss charon a coin for you. Xoxo

A Lore Olympus Fanart from 2021!

This one had so many more likes on the ex-bird site than I usually get anywhere ;w; The author Rachel Smythe actually shared it! It was so cool! Which is also why I was sad about deleting it there =w=;

Ice Cream

A doodle and a Drabble I’ve been sitting on for weeks

“Haha!! Very good Dio! That’s a beautiful castle! Melinoe, let me see the shell you just found.”

Hades had to pause in his return with the promised popsicles as he took in the sight of his family playing in the sand.

Two children who looked to him as a father, and a wife who loved him passed all of his flaws.

How did he get so lucky?

She looked up and smiled, her nose scrunching under the heart-shaped sunglasses she wore, and she waved him over.

“Look! Daddy’s back with your ice creams.”

Sometimes he feared he was still dreaming.

For the first time I read something for 9 hours in a row and stopped only because my eyes began to play guessing games with the text. The chemistry of these two is just something, the plot is interesting and there are a lot of adequate thoughts. And meme frames from there went to my daddy for important negotiations! :)

That is how Melinoe exists.

I want so badly for her to meet her parents.

#CANVASWeek2024 I always wanted to draw our favorite webtoons in my art style, but I never had the time to. These webtoons all offer their own unique artwork, and it was a challenge, a fun one at that. Of course, they are all paired with their own cute little Chickapeep from our webtoon Coexistence! I'm proud of these illustrations. Hopefully, everyone else likes them. These 6 webtoon are awesome, and for some reason, you never heard of them. You should definitely check em out.😊 If you like the artwork, check out Coexistence!
