YOU ARE ODYSSEUS is OUT TOMORROW! Here’s the Wind Rose that I drew for the map in the opening pages of the book - the four winds that blow Odysseus around the map from each of their directions.

The Floralia, a festival celebrating the ancient Roman goddess of flowers and blossoming plants, Flora 🌸🌷🏺🌱 #art #illustration #mythology

Art by flaroh illustration. Flora descends a marble staircase surrounded by attendents. She is brown with dark hair and dressed in a pink dress with layered details. She and her attendents wear bright dreses and floral leafy crowns. Before her a young girl throws pink petals and two women carry floral garlands on either side. Behind the bannisters an attendent leans on the railing and gazes at her adoringly. The entire scene is surrounded by detailed floral bushes.

First-look Matt Damon as Odysseus - costume (notes from a nerd)

First look Odyssey photos edited by Greek Myth Comix 1: disappointment

First look Odyssey photos edited by Greek Myth Comix 2: identifying Chalcidian helmet, awfully grey costuming, but actual Mycenaean-looking frescos. Bout - bracers?!

First look Odyssey photos edited by Greek Myth Comix 3: suggestions of Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic pottery portrayals used, all anachronistically showing Trojan war scenes in contemporary armour

First look Odyssey photos edited by Greek Myth Comix 4: actual examples of Mycenaean period-specific armour

🏺'Intruder in the servant quarters'🏺 What truly set these servant girls apart was their distinctive hairstyles. Some sported bangs on shaven heads, a practical choice in the Nile's heat. Others embraced long braids wrapped in linen fabrics, each telling a silent story of cultural significance.

🐈’Passing of the Family Cat’🐈 When a cat died in ancient Egypt, its family mourned by shaving their eyebrows as a sign of grief. Cats were carefully mummified, and the practise of mummification and cat-mania in general was so widespread, especially in the New Kingdom.
