YOU ARE ODYSSEUS is OUT TOMORROW!
Here’s the Wind Rose that I drew for the map in the opening pages of the book - the four winds that blow Odysseus around the map from each of their directions.

The Floralia, a festival celebrating the ancient Roman goddess of flowers and blossoming plants, Flora 🌸🌷🏺🌱

#art #illustration #mythology

Art by flaroh illustration. Flora descends a marble staircase surrounded by attendents. She is brown with dark hair and dressed in a pink dress with layered details. She and her attendents wear bright dreses and floral leafy crowns. Before her a young girl throws pink petals and two women carry floral garlands on either side. Behind the bannisters an attendent leans on the railing and gazes at her adoringly. The entire scene is surrounded by detailed floral bushes.

Say what you want, but I've been seeing zero beauty with the Christopher Nolan's Odyssey adaptation set pictures.... What happened to the glamour? It also occurred to me that there's a bunch of people probably don't know what the costumes should look like, so I did some quick studies.

First-look Matt Damon as Odysseus - costume (notes from a nerd)

First look Odyssey photos edited by Greek Myth Comix 1: disappointment

First look Odyssey photos edited by Greek Myth Comix 2: identifying Chalcidian helmet, awfully grey costuming, but actual Mycenaean-looking frescos. Bout - bracers?!

First look Odyssey photos edited by Greek Myth Comix 3: suggestions of Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic pottery portrayals used, all anachronistically showing Trojan war scenes in contemporary armour

First look Odyssey photos edited by Greek Myth Comix 4: actual examples of Mycenaean period-specific armour

Ancient Greek vs. Roman Religion: What’s the Difference?

The religions practiced by the ancient Greeks and Romans share similar mythologies and deities, but their religious rituals and practices were very different.

I will never finish the whole gang! 😅
