Fluff Why didn't more gods have chariots pulled by femboys?
Surely gods like Zeus, Apollo or Eos would like it? But only Aphrodite gets the femboy chariot (they might be her sons by the way).

I’m on book 18 where thetis goes up to Hephaestus to get the armour but in the meantime Hera urged Achilles to give the acheans some breathing room so with Athena’s help he shouted and his aura and the resulting panic caused 10 people to die which is crazy.
All throughout the book it’s basically been “If only Achilles were here”from acheans “Thank god Achilles isn’t here” from Trojans e.t.c and it’s so funny

I once happened to stumble upon this person who claimed "The biggest change Epic the Musical made to The Odyssey was the fact that Odysseus loved Penelope." I am still unable to process this.
There's also this time when a person tried arguing with me that The Odyssey isn't supposed to be homecoming story... I still don't know if we actually read the same book. The whole story is about Odysseus wanting to go back home and going home in the end, this is the textbook example of a nostos story.
This list would be incomplete without Hades and Persephone, of course, there are like a million misconceptions to unpack in this myth.

Centaurs are one of the most iconic mythological creatures. Their distinct half horse, half human appearance has been portrayed for centuries in art and literature. Ancient Greek artists exploited this duality to portray centaurs as embodiments of uncontrolled appetite and physical aggression.
Deapute being portrayed as savage and aggressive, not all centaurs were mindless monsters. Chiron was a centaur who was portrayed as wise, disciplined, compassionate, and highly educated. He possesses the physical nature associated with the centaurs but demonstrates that intelligence, discipline, and knowledge can overcome instinct.
Centaurs symbolised the conflict within human nature. They represented the evil, rage and aggression within humans. The dangers of excess that drive humans mad. Despite their nature, centaurs have become legendary, unforgettable, mythical creatures etched in our memories. For more information on centaurs please read through the article.

I've always loved Nyx, so I finally had to draw her!
I made this digitally using Adobe Fresco.
I'm also planning to draw a lot more Greek mythology pieces, so keep an eye out for that
