The Descent of Woman (Pandora): Visual Representation

As before, below are some of the visual representation that I find interesting about our story about Pandora and the two brothers. Of course, Zeus as well. Can't possibly forget him, can I? 😌

Do enjoy!

This version had Hermes presenting Pandora to Epimetheus.

Incident where Pandora opened her infamous jar of grim cares and Epimetheus being shocked by all that came out from the jar. It is clear that only one element remained in the jar and that should be Hope.

A sculpture of Epimetheus on the left and Pandora on the right. But it seems a little funny how Epimetheus is holding the jar instead of Pandora, ain't it? 😯

The two figures on the left are Zeus & Hermes who were seen chuckling away while Epimetheus reaches down to lift Pandora up with a cupid (Eros) hovering above them found on an Attic Red Figure, c 450 B.C.

And I'm sorry to say that these are all the pictures I could find about Pandora and those around her. As disappointed as I was to not be able to find more pictures related to this myth, I hope that all of you enjoyed this post!

Sincerely,
Gwen

Odysseus & Polyphemus: Visual Representation

Image
In this post, I have just decided to include a few famous pictures and figures that best represent this story of Odysseus & Polyphemus. I hope you enjoy them! 😊 An illustration of the same incident where Odysseus is seen to blind Polyphemus by himself with his men watching from behind. ( Picture Credits ) Odysseus and his men driving a stake into the eye of the Cyclops Polyphemus. The giant sits on a rock holding the dismembered legs of a man whilst being offered a cup of wine. The legs are all that is left of his last victim. Two main themes are portrayed in this Laconian Black Figure, 550 B.C. which are teamwork and slyness. The presence of the snake is to reinforce the fact that the incident is taking place in the cave whereas the fish below recalls Odysseus' voyage. ( Picture Credits ) Another version of how Polyphemus looks like. Must I say, he looks like the evil twin brother of Mike Wazowski from Disney's Monster Inc. HAHAHA!  Here  is the link o...

Odysseus & Polyphemus: The Recreation

Welcome back, friends! I hope that I haven't bore any of you to death with my choice of story and attempt in retelling the story to all of you. Just thought that it'd be a good idea to give a slight background to those of you who doesn't know anything about the myth. However, setting that aside, I hope that you are coming back for some Greek myth goodness from me. 😃 In today's post, I will be recreating the story of Odysseus and Polyphemus by adding some sugar, spice & everything nice. 😂 Lets get it started, shall we?  *fingers crossed* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- One rainy night back in the olden days, Odysseus and his men had to go through a very bad storm on their way back home to Odysseus' homeland, Ithaca. Due to the strong waves and howling wind that they had to encounter, they were washed away to a deserted and unknown island despite all their efforts to steer their ship back on track. Instincti...

A Humble Introduction

Good day my fellow friends! My warmest greetings to those of you who happen to coincidentally  (or maybe not)  stumble into this blog of mine and more importantly, are highly interested in our good ol' ancient Greek myths! 😅 As this blog of mine will be focusing solely on the ancient Greek myths. After being exposed to the numerous Greek myths and stories the past 11 weeks of studying for this unit in uni, I will be journeying with you and most probably recreating  (ya know, just to spice things up a little bit)  2 of my favourite myths - Odysseus & Polyphemus as well as Pandora's little jar of evil sources and of course, some goodness as well. 😏  I hope that you will enjoy this little journey back into the other world with me the for the next few posts and I look forward to entertaining you guys here.  Lo and behold because this will be the place for you to be. Stay tuned! Yours truly, Gwen.
