Hades Carrying Eros to the Underworld

Inspired by a painting of the same name. (Richard Westall) When i seen the original i felt the concept had… a lot of potential. I’ll leave it to you to search it up, it’s much different than what I’ve imagined. ^^ Prints are available in my shop! In this colour (terracotta) and rose.

my queer rendition of Joseph Kuhn-Régnier's painting "Bacchanal and Panthers"

I really love the original painting, but I wanted to add my own style and make it more modern and Dionysian

Guys I'm having a crisis I can't remember if I ever posted about Artemis not being a lesbian but instead being aroace. Did I post it???? Did I dream it??????

Whatever it is, forget it anyways because I might've been wrong!

*gasp!* Shocker!

Artemis, aroace or lesbian?

Ahh, Artemis. Goddess of wildlife, hunting, protecting women, and virginity!

And not only Artemis, but Athena and Hestia too. Together, they were the only sacred virgin godesses in Olympus that even Zeus didn't dare to bone. Now, I want to state that Greek mythology is very inconsistent, and sources vary for literally everything. Not to mention, labels are overrated and if we absolutely have to, it's safe to say most gods are queer at best.

Artemis is often depicted hunting with a group of nymphs that she trained and regularly hung out with. Said women were also required to never marry and always be virgins, but that last part is kinda iffy. You see, virginity in ancient Greece isn't what we consider virginity today. The ancient Greek word for virgin, parthenos, roughly translated to maiden/unmarried woman. A "virgin woman" most likely meant just an unmarried woman who didn't have heterosexual penetrative sex.

In several myths, it is stated that Zeus, in order to seduce Callisto, a worshipper/hunter friend of Artemis, turned into Artemis to fool her, and took her to bed, which implies that Artemis may or may not have been more than friends with Callisto, or at least Callisto had the hots for Artemis.

In conclusion, Artemis was either technically a virgin goddess or literally a virgin goddess.

Does it matter either way? Nope! Do with this info as you will.
