photo from several years ago at the Etruscan National Museum. I did not take a pic of the caption (possible it was not very helpful, I seem to remember there were a few basically unmarked displays like this), but the next pic in the album is a paragraph on the Micali Painter

Anyone know what's happening here with Athena and Herakles on this vessel possibly by the Micali Painter? Is she handing him a quiver and... crossbow?? or are the items attached to his back and she's waving some fabric behind him?
But also... crossbow?🏺

Fitting neatly into day 15 of @classicstober.bsky.social, Scylla is Octobers illustration for 2025!
Even though Scylla’s monstrous form is described as a many-headed draconic beast in the Odyssey, I just absolutely love her “mermaid” form in ancient art and wanted to depict that in this portrait.

like for day 10, I’ve used one of my older artworks for today’s post. I loved the Hekate recolour so much I wanted to see how this 2022 Styx portrait would turn out.
I do like the original, but this new colourway makes her blend in with the water more don’t you think? @classicstober.bsky.social 🏺

This week and next I’m a lil busy prepping for my flat move, so I’m using my 2021 illustration of Hekate for Day 10. Like the others, I’ve modified the palette to the red and green I’ve been using for classicstober 2025, which was fun considering the OG was in a different red and green pattern!❤️💚

The catch up continues! Day 9 of @classicstober.bsky.social is of the lampades, torch-bearing nymphs of the underworld who accompanied the goddess Hekate in her night-time revels and hauntings (theoi.com)✨ I wanted to depict them like manaeds, dancing and revelling
