After getting that ask about older Calliope, I started thinking about what she’d look like, so here she is! I imagine Atreus learned from Kratos (and his own visits to Sparta) how to put together Greek clothing, so young Calliope ended up wearing her brother’s attempts at a chiton and peplos during her early months in Jotunheim XDD

But now Calliope makes her own clothing! She’s most comfortable in a Spartan peplos -- and she actually gives me Aquarius vibes (referring to the horoscope), especially after I previously drew her with a Greek water vase! :DDD

Also, I made a little playlist for Atreus and Calliope, just for fun! It’s mostly instrumental music that could be used for ambience during their travels; I’ve arranged them as Greece-Rome-Midgard. The songs with lyrics, like SKALD’s, I imagine Atreus would sing to Calliope at night. As for the Irish songs, I just felt that their tunes were fitting for the siblings and their dynamic! (And as a bonus, the kulning addition is for Angrboda XDD)

A quick doodle I did of Edelgard in Greek clothing awhile back I hope you like it!

The Odd Things....

It never ceases to interest (and sometimes amuse) me, the topics/posts that garner (unexpected) attention.

Right now, the (semi-)old post answering the query about why ancient Greeks disliked pants/trousers is making the rounds. Not the post I'd expect to blow up. LOL

My most recent make is this ancient Minoan ensemble! It consists of a tunic (heanos) worn under a flounced wraparound skirt shaped like a double-bladed axe (labrys). Despite how heavy the linen skirt is, the entire outfit is surprisingly easy to move around in. I even waded into the river to rescue a bee!

Everyone should be allowed to wear their boyfriend's clothes, except for Patroclus. That guy should be kept far away from anything cloth or armor that has ever brushed even an inch of Achilles.
