From Zelda to Epic Tales: Tracing Hyrule's Footprints in Contemporary Fantas

The Legend of Zelda, with its green-clad hero and captivating world of Hyrule, has been more than just a digital escape for many. Beyond the pixels, heart containers, and haunting ocarina melodies, it seems Hyrule’s winds have whispered inspiration to the realms of modern fantasy literature. Let’s dive into that Deku Tree of influence, shall we? A Link to the Past (and Future): Time is but a…

Finallyyyyyyy done! Art for my NOTRE DAME fic, from my Scales of Fate AU on ao3 and here :D

So, flower symbolism!!!

the Fool's parsley, the bluebell and the crimson anemone. All related to false hope, quiet betrayal (the bells ring to summon fairies to the scene of a betrayal, I thought it was neat considering the lore of the story and Cleo's past and present) and at last for yuri enjoyers, forsaken love.

I don't think people realize how powerful the notion is that Odysseus rejected immortality from Calypso and what that says about his character and the love for his wife and son.

Odysseus had been to the underworld! He KNOWS what awaits him after death! He has seen those souls wandering about in the dark sometimes even forgotten by people above. He has even spoken with Achilles who told him that he'd rather be the last servant and unimportant and alive than king in the underworld. The proud ACHILLES told him he'd rather be a beggar than dead! Showing indeed Odysseus what it means. Even Eurylochus spewed some facts when he said that "all mortals avert death because it is so scary to them"

Odysseus is not just scared of death. HE KNOWS how it looks like! And despite the fact he is no longer young and in a dangerous situation and knowing what dying looks like he STILL rejected Calypso and immortality just to go back to his wife and child and home!

a little reunion animatic

Yes we know Athena was Zeus’s favorite child but let us not forget how mad at her Zeus could be in the Iliad, Book 8, when Athena and Hera were rushing to save the Achaean armies against Zeus’s orders. So he was literally threatening “…not in ten circling years will you heal your wounds where the lightning bolt will smite you—so that the bright-eyed one may know what it’s like to fight against her father.”

Well…Epic!Athena did take a lightning bolt to the face
