"Come, my heart, put on your armour" - Euripides' Medea

Medea sits on the porch of her house in Corinth after killing her children, in a short moment of contemplation, waiting for the arrival of Iason and her final triumph over him. She is the Deus ex Machina in her own play. She doesn't need a god to intervene on her behalf, she is half-god herself.

The Medea of Euripides is probably one of my favourite plays of all time with Medea being one of my favourite characters ever put on stage. Euripides is a master of the pyschological thriller and the portrait he paints of Medea the child-killer, Medea the witch, Medea the wronged woman, Medea the hated foreigner, is still so modern and so topical, even now almost 2500 years later.

Fast Fauna Facts #3 - Winged Argonaut (Argonauta hians)

Family: Argonaut Family (Argonautidae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

Like the other small octopuses in the argonaut family many Winged Argonauts appear to have spiral-shaped external shells similar to those of nautiluses or ammonites, but this isn't quite the case - what appears to be an argonaut's shell is only seen in adult females, and is actually a thin-walled, calcium-based case secreted from and held by a specialised pair of arms in order to carry fertilized eggs until they hatch. Found in non-polar waters worldwide, Winged Argonauts are found mainly near the surface in the open ocean (in contrast to most octopuses, which are bottom-dwellers,) feeding on small floating invertebrates and often using their suction cups to cling to flotsam or larger animals (sometimes including other argonauts) for protection; when faced with a predator, they may attempt to position the animal they're riding on between them and the perceived threat to act as a meat shield.

The Argonauts

[galusandmalus]

Emily Hauser wrote a entire essay about Stephen Fry's books not representing mythology or woman or historically correctly Also, apparently, in her Atalanta book, she has Meleager assault her, thinking she's a man. at least if this review is correct

so Atalanta dresses up like a man to get on the Argo, and Jason is evil and Meleager is evil man I dunno like, I'm not even against changing a story like the Argonautica but I wouldn't go around critising stephan fry after, feels like throwing glass houses at stones

Medea

I combined medieval Georgian and Ancient Greek together for this design.

Here is my final art for my Medea piece based on Euripides tragic play. I remember watching this play on youtube with my dad when we were staying in Athens for a couple months, and it made a big impact on me, and it led me to dive deeper into more Greek tragedies like “Ajax” and “the Trojan women”. I can’t seem to get enough of these brilliantly composed tales of loss and despair! maybe I watched too many Disney movies as a kid and I need to balance the scales! :P heres a great line from the play, “Stronger than lover's love is lover's hate. Incurable, in each, the wounds they make.” Medea by Euripides tells the story of a betrayed wife who takes revenge on her unfaithful husband, Jason, after he abandons her to marry the daughter of King Creon. Fueled by rage and despair, Medea murders her own children and Jason's new bride, leaving Jason utterly destroyed. The play explores themes of vengeance, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of unchecked passion. On a more positive note: I’m thrilled to announce that my Kickstarter is officially launching this March-almost next month! Thank you all for your incredible patience and support on this EPIC project, featuring over 130 full-page illustrations. After 2 ½ years of hard work, I can’t wait to bring this dream into the physical world! Stay tuned for updates on the new layout and text. If you’d like to share feedback on the book’s content, join my Discord (link in Linktree). Love you all!💕

Medea: look Jason, I'm not slut shaming you but...

Medea: Actually yeah, I'm TOTALLY slut shaming you.

Medea and Atalana, friends forever.

The argonauts are fightingggg and they haven't even set off yet!

"So he spoke, but Idas son of Aphareus burst into laughter and with scorn in his eyes he replied abusively:

'Come now! Tell me this through your prophetic skill: will the gods destroy me in the way your father bestowed the destruction upon the Aloiadai? Take thought for how you will escape my hands if you are found to have uttered empty prophecies!'

So he attacked him angrily and the quarrel would have gone further had not the son of Aison himself restrained their dispute with words of rebuke. Moreover Orpheus took up his lyre in his left hand and began to sing.

- Jason and the Golden Fleece, Book 1 lines 486-494, Apollonius of Rhodes as Translated by Richard Hunter.

Idas really said chat shit get hit. Atalanta is not present in this translation but I simply want her there.

Reunion

[grayjoy15]

Day 3: Atalanta, devotee of Artemis and the only woman to travel with the Argonauts. Atalanta joined the heroes Jason, Heracles, and Orpheus on their quest to seek the Golden Fleece. She was renowned for her speed and skill with a bow.

Jason: okay so I may have pissed off Medea again and I need your guys advice.

Heracles: so you pulled another “Jason” didn’t you? 😉

Jason: what the?! Oh come on! How long have you guys been calling it a “Jason”?

Telamon: How long have you been Jason? 😈
