Girl, same. I also don't like the myth about adonis. Depending the version you prefer he is either killed by Apollo, Ares and Artemis. I like to think the three of them team up to kill adonis. Aside from Aphrodite blinding his son Erymanthus, Apollo also care about his muses (Clio and Calliope). As for Ares, while I like to think he doesn't mind aphrodite having other lovers, he is getting tired hearing of her drama about adonis. Artemis want revenge on aphrodite for killing her devoted follower Hippolytus (from what I searched he is the child of either hippolyta or antiope - the amazon daughters of ares. So he is ares grandchild) and maybe revenge for Erinoma as well. So they send out a boar to kill adonis.

And good riddance for that. Adonis is nothing but trouble lol

"In ways that are often hard to articulate but run through everything, my work has been deeply informed by my own experiences. I have been reading Homer throughout my adult life. Whenever I hear blustering winds and rain-storms, surging rivers or choppy seas, when I watch a flock of geese or a swooping hawk, when I walk through rustling woods or up a mountainside, I know I am inside the world of Homeric similes. Even the most trivial moments of daily life remind me of Homer. I notice that my feet are not "well-oiled" whenever I tie my sandals on. I cannot watch my dog happily rolling in mulch without thinking of Achilles, prostrated in grief and tossing around in the dust. More seriously, the poem gives me a language to understand my deepest emotions and those of people around me. When I weep for my mother, who died recently in a distant land, I remember the grief of Achilles and of Priam. The Iliad is with me always."

— Emily Wilson, in the translator's note of her Iliad

#'Calliope the Muse of heroic poetry probably has better things to do than help a mere translator. #Nevertheless I have prayed for her aid daily for over a decade as I worked to create these two translations of the Homeric epics. #Now that the task is done I lay my words at the feet of the goddess.' #homer #my upload

When I first met him... he was the most gallant of lovers. He knew so many things. He delighted in sharing his knowledge. He had a castle full of treasures, and he took such pleasure in showing them, giving them to me. He was so gentle, and his skin felt like white silk against my skin. And I gave what I could give to one such as he. When we made love, it was like a flame: I felt utterly engulfed, utterly loved. Treasured. I have been with many poets, many dreamers... but his love alone was ice and fire. His eyes were stars.

Sandtober 2023, Day 13 Lovely Ladies

It’s quite late and I didn’t think I’ll be able to do something for today’s prompt but since I find myself on bed rest and in need of distracting myself here’s Calliope!

I’ve been messing around more and more with paint brushes and thought it would be cool to do something like an old fresco, in an abandoned temple of worship to the muse calliope and so…ta- dah?

Feels like I could do more added details to this but it’s late and I feel like I’ll end up overworking it!

thank you @orionsangel86 for all the lovely prompts!

[my-name-is-apollo]

Orpheus and Linus being mortal while having two gods as their parents (Apollo and usually Calliope) makes sense to me only if their biological father was a mortal and Apollo just came into their life like this:

I mean, Oeagrus is mentioned as the father of both Orpheus and Linus in some versions. And in Dionysiaca he also leaves behind Calliope and a new born Orpheus (and his entire kingdom) to join Dionysus in his war against the Indians. So Apollo stepping in as a father figure is entirely plausible.

[apollon-quotes]

“The Mousai are always dancing, and the goddesses love to busy themselves with songs and strings. But when they see Apollon beginning to lead the dance, they put their heart into their singing even more than before and send down from Helikon an all-harmonious sound.”

- Simonides, Fragment 578 (from Himerius, Orations)
