honestly Dionysus is an extremely terrifying god

Fr he cursed an entire city with madness and killed and traumatized his own relatives for a mother he never met.

Here’s some more Hyacinth lyrics! This song’s called “Before the Storm,” and for about two months it was sitting unfinished in my notes app until like last week so uh… blame writer’s block.

Before the Storm

ARTEMIS (spoken): You have two choices, Zephyrus. Head back to Olympus and leave Apollo and Hyacinthus alone, or stay perfectly still while my hunters shoot you out of the sky. It’s up to you.

ZEPHYRUS (spoken): Hmm, hard choice . . . how about . . . no!

ZEPHYRUS: Lift your eyes to the sky, but watch out below

Apollo’s become Icarus 2.0

I hope you’re all on the edge of your seats for the final act of the show

He’s gonna crash and burn

Then, goddess, it’s your turn

So if the three of you won’t move, then I’ll just blow you off course

ARTEMIS: Have you lost your mind?

Did the thin air finally get to your head?

You’re challenging a goddess who loves her brother more than life

I’ll shoot you if you touch a single hair on his head

ARTEMIS, HERMES, DIONYSUS: Yeah, you hurt Apollo and you’ll end up dead!

You better turn around and fly

Off into the western sky

The storm’s on its way

But it’s coming for you

Not even the Moirae can help you now

You’ve messed with the wrong gods

And stacked up all the odds

So heed our warning ‘fore it’s too late

Your lust is the problem

It’s our time to solve ‘em

So go and take your final bow

ZEPHYRUS: I’m not to blame

If my love is in vain

Eros struck me right through the heart

So now I must do

What is necessary and cruel

You can say I’ve become a monster, but I’ve been one from the start

You’ve messed with the wrong god

And stacked up all the odds

So heed my warning ‘fore it’s too late

If my lust is the problem

It’s not your place to solve ‘em

Tell Apollo to take his final bow

(Overlapping)

A, D, H: You better turn around and fly

Off into the western sky

The storm’s on its way

But it’s coming for you

Z: Lift your eyes to the sky, but watch out below

Apollo’s become Icarus 2.0

I hope you’re all on the edge of your seats for the final act of the show

He’s gonna crash and burn

Then it’ll be your turn

A, D, H: You’re not gonna blow him off course!

Z: You’re not gonna blow me off course!

"Ah, my kin! I was just inquiring with Lord Dionysus here, under which circumstances are the greatest mortal feasts of all prepared? Because I have a certain hunch, regarding that..."

Honestly, who wouldn't be terrified if they were adressed as

Dionysus and the snake

Well, you're starting to get used to my constant switching between traditional and digital 🙃

If you've been following the previous mythological drawings, you may recognize my Dionysus. Here, I have represented him watching a snake biting into a grape, a quite symbolic moment in his story. Dionysus inspires me a lot, it was certain that this God would be the first one I drew again 🍇

Ok so, there is this interesting part of the Achilleid where Zeus and Hera’s relationship is compared to Achilles and Deidamia

When I first heard of it I thought it was funny. Then I read the poem a bit more and I’m a li disturbed and confused.

So tldr Achilles disguised himself as a woman to draft dodge and he stays with Deidamia’s family and falls in love with her, at first it’s cute, Achilles teaches her music while she teaches him weaving and other feminine things. She realizes he’s in love with her but is too shy to reciprocate those feelings. Over time Achilles couldn’t take hiding his manhood anymore and… r*ped Deidamia.

Yeah…

The implication that Hera and Zeus grew up together is pretty interesting, there are multiple sources about both of them escaping their father but not much on them actually growing up together. Hera being shy about having a relationship with her brother is also interesting bc it reminds me of how, in one version of the cuckoo story, Hera brought up Rhea as a reason why she can’t be with him. It’s this whole thing that Hera and Zeus had a secret relationship hidden from their parents.

This also kinda implies a bit of… dubious consent (to put it mildly) in how Zeus got Hera to marry him. Ironically the cuckoo story doesn’t technically imply assault tho I’m surprised this part of the Achilleid isn’t brought up more.

Now this next part is more of a crack theory so don’t take it too seriously.

So you know how Thetis disguised Achilles as a girl to protect him? There is this story that Dionysus was disguised as a girl to avoid Hera’s wrath:

There is also this amusing parallel between Kronos and Hera (screenshot from @deathlessathanasia ):

With both being scared of by the Kouretes.

There are also some sources that state that Kronos spared his daughters and lets Rhea raise them, so what if… (and again this is a crack theory) Rhea disguised Zeus as a girl in order to protect him from Kronos?
