i came up with the idea for these the othe day when i was re-reading edith hamilton's mythology and took a good look at steele savage's illustrations.

enjoy!

VERY nice!!!!

The top two must be Epimetheus and Pandora.

Then, I'm guessing... Perseus, Helen and Hercules?


Yes, I know the top two are templates.

guess i should have actually included in the posts who they were - the top two are the templates of course, the bottom three would be achilles and as you called it - helen and hercules.

I love that you have chosen to do those. The possibilities for the top one in the "done" micros were rather immense, so I went for my most obvious choice.

Nicely done.

there's several others i want to try, like hermes, odysseus, athena, poseidon, apollo, ares, etc., so you can expect more of them at some point.

glad you guys like 'em, they were fun [and interesting] to make.

Hrm... Apollo, the sun god, music god, medicine god... seems blond, and shiny (ok... glowy)

Now you have me curious. I know how I have imagined Edith Hamilton's versions for years. Her book was my first step into mythology.

here's hermes.

and the trojan's mightiest warrior, hector.

a couple more - zeus and odysseus. [i decided to make the odysseus from the end of the odyssey obviously!]

Very impressive, Robert.

thanks jason! here's athena.

They're like little works of art.

Very nice.

They are! Now we need Jason (of the Argonauts)

jason is on my list, but in the meantime... here's an easy one - icarus.



and here's my "to-do" list - aeneas, aphrodite, apollo, ares, artemis, hades, hephaestus, hera, hestia, jason, the minotaur, perseus, poseidon and theseus.

OOOH... Hephaestus and also Hestia. I look forward to your interpretations. I have a good idea on most of the others, like Artemis. Actually, Artemis has long been my favorite of the Greek goddesses.

I should see about Persephone sometime.

here's a norse god just for a bit of a change-up.
