Here’s some more Hyacinth lyrics! This song’s called “Before the Storm,” and for about two months it was sitting unfinished in my notes app until like last week so uh… blame writer’s block.
Before the Storm
ARTEMIS (spoken): You have two choices, Zephyrus. Head back to Olympus and leave Apollo and Hyacinthus alone, or stay perfectly still while my hunters shoot you out of the sky. It’s up to you.
ZEPHYRUS (spoken): Hmm, hard choice . . . how about . . . no!
ZEPHYRUS: Lift your eyes to the sky, but watch out below
Apollo’s become Icarus 2.0
I hope you’re all on the edge of your seats for the final act of the show
He’s gonna crash and burn
Then, goddess, it’s your turn
So if the three of you won’t move, then I’ll just blow you off course
ARTEMIS: Have you lost your mind?
Did the thin air finally get to your head?
You’re challenging a goddess who loves her brother more than life
I’ll shoot you if you touch a single hair on his head
ARTEMIS, HERMES, DIONYSUS: Yeah, you hurt Apollo and you’ll end up dead!
You better turn around and fly
Off into the western sky
The storm’s on its way
But it’s coming for you
Not even the Moirae can help you now
You’ve messed with the wrong gods
And stacked up all the odds
So heed our warning ‘fore it’s too late
Your lust is the problem
It’s our time to solve ‘em
So go and take your final bow
ZEPHYRUS: I’m not to blame
If my love is in vain
Eros struck me right through the heart
So now I must do
What is necessary and cruel
You can say I’ve become a monster, but I’ve been one from the start
You’ve messed with the wrong god
And stacked up all the odds
So heed my warning ‘fore it’s too late
If my lust is the problem
It’s not your place to solve ‘em
Tell Apollo to take his final bow
(Overlapping)
A, D, H: You better turn around and fly
Off into the western sky
The storm’s on its way
But it’s coming for you
Z: Lift your eyes to the sky, but watch out below
Apollo’s become Icarus 2.0
I hope you’re all on the edge of your seats for the final act of the show
He’s gonna crash and burn
Then it’ll be your turn
A, D, H: You’re not gonna blow him off course!
Z: You’re not gonna blow me off course!

Dionysus and the snake
Well, you're starting to get used to my constant switching between traditional and digital 🙃
If you've been following the previous mythological drawings, you may recognize my Dionysus. Here, I have represented him watching a snake biting into a grape, a quite symbolic moment in his story. Dionysus inspires me a lot, it was certain that this God would be the first one I drew again 🍇
