Πέμπτη Μεσοῦντος/ Πέμπτη ἐπὶ δέκα / Πεντεκαιδεκάτη, XV Day

Rose O'Neill knew what was up

One of the funniest real-world things to mix with the Iliad is that in Hittite society bird omens/reading birds was like.

A really important divination method.

Maybe not THE most important but it was big and it was complex and involved.

And then you have Hektor "fuck your bird signs" of Troy.

Seven more 💍✨ That's a Witch-king of Angmar as seen by Frodo on the Weathertop!

Also, I’ve decided I'll be selling the originals after I finish all the drawings (that means after Easter). But if there is any character you'd like to have in particular you can start reserving them now. By messaging me here or on s.u.w.i@email.cz :^)

Saruman, Legolas, Gimli, Éowyn, Faramir, Gandalf, Galadriel, Witch-king, Uruk-hai, Grishnákh, Samwise, Bilbo, Frodo and Elrond are taken!

The prices are from 50 to 80USD (shipping included). And same as last year with the dog drawings this year also all the earnings will be sent to charities. Thank you! 🌿

Rest of the characters are here and here and here!

Overcoming the slightest challenge of my day: “This is just like the Odyssey.”

“Moreover, the language she uses of herself evokes the heroes of Greek epic and specifically Achilles - “equal to the gods, save for death alone”. Death gives Polyxena the opportunity to confer herolike status upon herself, while condemning the Greeks for the life and the assault they would have subjected her to.”

— Casey Dué, The captive woman’s lament in Greek tragedy

When I saw this picture, I knew I had to draw it with Hektor and Andromache, it's perfect for them~

reminder that hektor talks to his horses about how wonderful andromache is

(open for big)

the girls!!!! and toxic old man yaoi.

thinking of King Priam's grief, watching Teucer, the child of the sister who was stolen from him and Troy all those years ago, the sister who he has longed for all these years, stand against him and his children during the trojan war
