“according to greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. fearing their power, zeus split them into two separate beings, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves."

BREAKING MY SILENCE ON ALCIBIADES💖🍇🐆Plato's Symposium was so important to me in discovering myself but I have never made a lot of art trying to express some of my fondness for its characters. I really enjoy seeing so much love for Alcibiades online and I don't want to leave myself out😖extra stuff below the cut <3

I posted more sketches on instagram and then realized I totally left some ideas out from my travel sketchbook, so I'm only adding this one which is the sketch I actually like :)) don't worry because you definitely haven’t seen the last of him😏

"According to Greek Mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate beings, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves"

-Plato

If this doesn't scream 'soulmates' I don't know what else does...(and ofc there is Zeus being a problematic dick)

Reading The Symposium for the philosophy❌

Reading The Symposium to see Alcibeades hitting on Socrates ✅

Love is born into every human being; it calls back the halves of our original nature together; it tries to make one out of two and heal the wound of human nature.

socrates: all i know is that i know nothing.

me: but knowing nothing would make it knowing something, wouldn't it?

socrates: wait

me: if you acknowledge the fact that you know nothing, you're inherently making it so that you know something, because all you do know is that you know nothing, but then you know something! and that is you know nothing! which means your statement is inherently wrong!

socrates: hold on

me: anyway. all i know is that you should let alcibiades top
