#ClassicsTober day 9: feat.
Jason (The night before He tackles the bulls of Aeetes): you’re saying I have to be oiled up for this?
Medea: (bashfully) it’s the only way. Jason: and do I really have to be naked?
Medea: oh, absolutely. I don’t make the rules.
#ClassicsTober day 8: octopode. A Minoan octopus casts off its amphorae chrysalis after a fortuitous shipwreck (the latter not pictured for reasons of sensitivity and laziness)
#ClassicsTober day 7: katabasis. So this word was something new I Learned. What’s the modern equivalent? I feel like a trip to ikea comes close. In the meantime, here is Heracles petting random 3 headed dogs on a busy thoroughfare.
#ClassicsTober day 6: bough. The course of my now routine frantic googling of each prompt leads me to learn that Aeneas’ golden bough might be mistletoe. Having just started reading Asterix books with my son, I just had to draw the venerable Druid Getafix.
#ClassicsTober day 5: knowledge. A young Achilles hesitantly scans his knowledge of mycology before selecting todays side dish. Chiron takes a break from marking the young fellows trigonometry to observe.
#ClassicsTober day 4: threshold. I half arsed this one by just putting a two faced Janus above the door. It’s not a great sketch but I like the idea of hanging out on a stoop in Roman towns.
#ClassicsTober day 2: script. Baby Hermes pursues this grand wheeze he’s had which he is tentatively calling “writing”
#ClassicsTober day 1: a coin is no place for a bird to spend a couple of thousand years.
