Heracles in Alcestis Ramble One of the interesting things about Alcestis is Heracles’ characterization. When he finds out Admetus is mourning, the first person he thinks of is that it’s one of his children. “God keep your children free from harm!” - Line 514 He doesn’t immediately jump to politics or reputation, but thinks of family first. He’s Heracles the warrior, yet for a moment, Heracles the father slips out. He’s a family man, and those who know how deeply family shaped him. Whether Euripides intended the audience to make that connection or not, it’s hard not to see a tragic irony there. This Heracles is cheerful, boisterous, and as the Attendant complains, is fond of food and drinks as said by the Attendant, but he’s also deeply loyal to his friends. The moment he realizes Admetus lied to spare him discomfort, his attitude changed to: “I’m sure I’ll bring Alcestis up here and put her in my host’s arms. He welcomed me into his house, when he was struck with great misfortune. He didn’t drive me away. He nobly hid his grief, out of respect for me. What Thessalian, what Greek honors the role of host more than he? And so this noble man won’t have to say the man he treated we was bad.” - Line 855-860 He wasn’t ordered to do this, and it has nothing to do with glory or his Labors. But rather, he does it because his friend showed him kindness while suffering. There’s a complication, though. In Euripides’ Heracles , the murder of his wife and children happens after the Labors, whereas Alcestis takes place during them. So this Heracles hasn’t yet experienced that tragedy. But that doesn’t have to contradict with this. Euripides portrays Heracles as deeply human . He’s strong enough to wrestle Death itself, but he eats and drinks too much, makes social blunders, apologizes when he’s wrong, and cares fiercely for his friends and family. He’s not a distant ideal hero. But dare I say, a big-hearted man who sometimes acts before he thinks. And seeing his concern and actions during this play hurts, knowing what will one day befall him. The man who rescues another man’s wife from death will later be unable to save his own.

ALT “Gloryhole Gorgons” from Lewdtober. Also a character that would probably be cool to draw again not behind a set of gloryholes, but also very complicated so I probably won’t.

I see a lot of pink Persephones, I like them but I do wonder why she’s so commonly colored with pink. Could it be because human flesh is pink? Is it pomegrantes? Is it becauae of Lore Olympus? Is it because of spring?

I think that all the hybrids would dress with a somewhat alt fashion. Not for ideology or smth, they just don’t know how modern people are supposed to dress and what’s considered “normal” and what’s considered “weird”, so in their attempt to get some clothes… Also, the concept Hyacinthus or some other hybrid getting skirts cause lil bro really thought men were still socially allowed to wear them. 😔

kiddxcula post: Phyrra and her half brother Neoptolemus Before I get my ass put under a fire pit and flames like a p

Phyrra and her half brother Neoptolemus Before I get my ass put under a fire pit and flames like a pig on a spit, this is Loukia’s daughter (a.e the woman in like three of my art pieces on here bc I’m a chud and don’t post) and this is essentially her kid. How is she related to Neo? They share the same daddy basically. That’s really the boiled down version of this whole jumble fuck of a story. Just poorly written fan fiction on my part lmao, but wtv it’s fun to write about bc Phyrra’s story doesn’t entirely involve Neoptolemus, only that she finds him, sticks around until he ups and leaves her again and she only sees him again but in the form of a dead body in her grandfathers temple (Apollo) (in some versions Neo goes to Delphi to seek revenge for Achilles, others he is killed by Orestes, Agamemnon’s son to marry Neoptolemus’s wife Hermione) But! This is for fun, I like writing and creating (even if it’s bad and I’m likely going to be cooked alive by Tsoa fans and die hard Greek mythology enthusiasts) I’m likely gonna turn this into an art and yap page of my terribly written shit soooo ya. (I’ll be the next my immortal trust)

You know what would feel great? Being put on Procrustes’ bed. It’s supposed to be 6ft, right? Well, I’m 5’11”, so I feel like I’d get a good back crack out of it. Maybe fix my scoliosis. And the satisfaction of walking away from The Stretcher unharmed would keep me fed for a year.

danse macabre agave and pentheus, puppeteered by dionysos. in the reference i used, the female figure became pentheus and the male figure became agave, which i’m sure is symbolic of something. they’re both literally chained to the act by dionysos’ vines of ivy, which you can see entwining their legs
