I was mainly inspired by deer who get their antlers locked together and just general fall things. Autumn is my favorite season!

I also post WIPs and werewolf tarot deck updates there! I’m aiming to make enough to be able to focus primarily on personal projects. Thanks for all of your support!

The Athlete of Crete

A renowned artifact from the village of Lato in Crete.

The skeleton was a young athlete who retained the golden wreath he was buried in. A golden wreath would be too fragile to wear in life, and are rarely depicted outside of emporers and the dead.

It is dated by the coin put in his mouth (as the fare for Charon to cross the river Styx) to the period of the Roman Emperor Tiberius (14-37AD) Also on the remains was a ring containing a picture of a female hanging a shield, or trophy on a column - indicating his prowess in his field.

The gold wreath indicates the deceased's success in athletic contests and also alludes to posthumous deification. The wreath has also a supernatural side in that it offers protection from demons. Different species of leaf represented special attributes. The ancient Olympic games were only one of four famous groups of competitions, and each awarded its own type of wreath. Artists and military heroes also had special wreaths.

A golden wreath from the classical tombs is anotorious as looted objects due to its value and light weight. Recently a golden wreath was discovered hidden in the home of a world traveler that still had burial dirt on it!

Skull of a crowned athlete with a gold wreath from Agios Nikolaos, Crete, of the Hellenistic period. The flesh melted with time, but the wreath stuck and remained on the skull.
