These face paints are truly fascinating and beautiful, I love the example of this head with the striking contrast created by the red paint against the skin and how it complements the color of the lips, it's a lovely piece! The practice of painting suns on specific parts of the face is particularly intriguing, does it represent a connection to celestial themes?

And Helen using her beauty mark as the center of her forehead makeup is such an interesting idea to think about! It’s like she was born for it and is just showing it off to the world! ✨✨

According to Dares the Phrygian Helen has a beauty mark between her brows! What do you know? Greeks possibly considered moles attractive from that time hehe 😜 but now I remember this amazing mycenaean female head from around 1300 BC

And now I imagine Helen when doing her makeup instead of painting the usual sun on her forehead she just draws the dots around her beauty mark instead! 🤔

This gay has been playing BG3 and is in love with Karlach. So predictable

If you liked it, consider supporting me on Instagram or Twitter = ) I also open to commissions.

Oh boy, and I have the perception (maybe I'm wrong) that the general public that doesn't read this piece and scene deeply simply has the idea of the victory of the Greeks and the celebration of their cunning and smarts while the Trojans are the arrogant ones who took everything for granted and lost it all, which is a valid perspective too since it's not really wrong, but I feel the massacre of the Trojan population is not exactly hidden but it is sort of glossed over when the general public thinks of this, so it's such an interesting and relavant point to talk about, it was indeed bloody and gruesome and the Iliad trully points out to this. That is indeed nightmarish, it was a literal calm before the true storm and a very messy one!

Oh gosh it's definitely hard to imagine but for real it's the one true nightmare that will leave a scar and it will be impossible to forget through many generations for the Trojan side. Oh boy I really wanna start looking in depth at all of these works ✨

Not at all girl it's only the truth ❤️❤️ You always know how to express the characters feelings and dialogs so well and it's so easy to feel their emotions trough your pieces ✨ Your latest one is also amazing as well ❤️ the way Helen and Odysseus confront each other and all the guilt for all that happened and how it was never his wish that it came to all of this... I must take time to comment on it properly as well, even me who has not read the Iliad deeply could have such a clear idea of it, and it's very inspirational ❤️

It's great to see you so inspired and whiling to create such beautiful things ❤️

And congrats on all the reblogs you deserve so so so much more hon 🥰🥰🤗 Amazing work trully ✨

What Trojans must have heard that fateful night some time during bronze age, 3000 years ago

I mean imagine they went to sleep thinking they won and the Greeks had left and then they wake up facing hell with houses burning people screaming and the Greeks entering the city killing and capturing and sacking their city that was safe for 10 years!

Oh please don't mind me too much because despite knowing some general stuff I'm a noob in all of this 😆 gosh that sounds so tragic the way he's hoping so much for the baby who will not see another day... I can so see that since Hector seems so tragic and defends his city pouring himself like that...

Yeah I can imagine the Greeks are seen as ingenious with such an idea and resources, it's possible I'm remembering the reactions of the people who studied the piece with me so many years ago and mankind a biased assumption haha but yeah that definitely makes sense! Regardless it is a very interesting aspect to explore indeed!

I am familiar with such details indeed, despite it all it was a good example on how they used their opponents weakness and overconfidence and took advantage of them putting their guards down which was their fatal mistake, taking the enemy right into their most vulnerable position. Can definitely understand how this is such great inspiration for some aspects of the rebellion as well haha

Gosh it's amazing how the most gruesome ideas of tragedies result in such epic pieces of art, tho as a creator I understand it, and you as well of course haha the raw visceral emotions are the best fuel for inspiration many times! Gosh sounds dark, tragic and hellish... Oh thank you I'll definitely check it out! 👀✨

Not at all girl you know it's true ✨❤️

I can imagine, they seem to be both parallels of different perspectives if that makes any sense hehe but trully and both the heaviness on their hearts really shows here! Oh the one you also reblogged right? I can definitely see why it inspired you, and your story in response truly was a gift ✨✨

You're amazing 🤗✨✨

Oh you know it partner! More pain for the characters always! Let the tears flow freely!!

Calypso was bedding Odysseus against his will every night for 7 years.

A week has 7 days and there are about 4 weeks in a month. Every month has on average 30 days. Or there are 365 days in a year.

Add them up and you will realize that Odysseus was raped more than 2500 times.

Let that sink in!
