why did we stop drawing ridiculous looking sea monsters on our maps after we chartered the world's oceans. what did you do to my boys.

just look at these friendly lads. and you deny us all the joy of seeing them in the name of geographical and zoological accuracy. how could you.

…the Iliad used conventional epic events and heroes to challenge the heroic view of war. Is a warrior ever justified in challenging his commander? Must he sacrifice his life for someone else’s cause? How is a catastrophic war ever allowed to start—and why, if all parties wish it over, can it not be ended? Giving his life for his country, does a man betray his family? Do the gods countenance the war’s slaughter? Is a warrior’s death compensated by his glory?

Finished this drawing of Apollo and his golden arrows.

He’s my favorite of the Greek mythos.
