Remember the time when Athena had a temple of virgins and had this one really rad priestess doing rad things, but then Poseidon err.... ruined her credentials to work at the temple. And then Athena cursed her by giving her snake hair and a gaze that turned people to stone even though the priestess didn't do anything wrong? And then later the priestess got killed by some Perseus dude!

Classic Greek pranks!

Poseidon and Athena are assholes and the turning of Medusa into a monster is an utter tragedy.

I feel real bad for her.
You think that's tragic? Caenus, enough said. Like.... oof. Or Europa....which is just weeeeeeeird.

Okay so, I just thought of the most out-there idea for something. If Sora actually gets into the roster, I want someone to make a fan animation/comic with him & Joker singing “Don’t Go Breaking my Heart” together. Just thought it was amusing to think about.

Remember when I said the Greeks liked their characters flawed?

Perhaps I didn't emphasize that enough.

To be fair, that's Ovid's version of the story, who was infamous for rewriting old myths to villainize Olympian gods.

None of the previous tellings of the story depict Medusa as anything but a monster.

Well, they certainly make for very interesting characters. Medea or Achilleus wouldn't be nearly as deep and complex they are if they were classically heroic.

Actually, I can't think any "did nothing wrong" Greek heroes from the top of my head. Maybe Psyche?

  • A bear
  • Husband of the woman he set eyes on
  • A flame
  • Artemis
  • A shower of gold, or whatever that means
  • A ****ing ant of all things

I'm more so curious as to why anyone would want to lay an ant. And how anyone would lay an ant.

I skipped to the last page, saw this in a quoye and thought "Holy **** why does Athena Cykes have a temple of virgins?"

Well, one of the followers of Artemis was a nymph named Kallipso. According to some versions of the myth, Zeus took the shape of Artemis to seduce her.

Artemis wasn't really involved until later.

Ah Zeus. The divine inspiration of weird fetishism.

Shrink down with Ant Man's suit and your half way there of course!

Woah, quarantine is making time go so fast that It feels as if 3 days passed since SEGA announced anything involving Alex Kidd.

God I wish SEGA cared about Alex Kidd.

Drew that dude Ryu from Streets. Not a super serious drawing, I think did it in 15 minutes or so. Either way it wasn't a very long time. Based the colors off of SF3 Ryu, hence the tan skin. It was one of those drawing late night type of days.


Finna crash soon and get some rest. I already worked on like 3 other things after I finished this.

I wonder if I’d be able to incorporate elements from all those mythologies in my modern magic series.
Just be sure to do deep research if you're going to add Australian Aboriginal elements. They're very sensitive of their beliefs.

Which is why as cool as I'd love for that to be in God of War, out of respect it'd be best not to have it as much as I'd love to fight bunyips as enemies.

Talking about Greek Mythology eh?

No love for Norse, Egyptian, American indigenous or Australian Aboriginal?
It's a shame that hardly any other mythicism is as well-documented as Greek mythology.

Norse mythology doesn't even have a surviving pre-Christianity source we can use as a reference.

I would argue Egyptian is just as well-documented or at least close to it. I would also say Japanese kind of comes close too.

You guys also probably know my favorite god given my love for crocodiles being Sobek himself.

For me, Bastet is the best. Even Ancient Egyptians knew that you are supposed to worship cats.
