Zeus design ✨✨
totally didn't get lazy and give up on cleaning it up 💯
@fostydosty it's Zeus in his wife-tribute wear from the marriage of Mercury and Philology!!
He’s so cunty,,,,
Now I just need an athletic Hera (possibly in garb inspired by the Heraean Games?) carrying the thunderbolt/with thunderbolt earrings and a dress made of clouds
(For anyone who doesn’t know what we’re talking about, here is the context:
Then Zeus, taking the official robes, which he wore when he was going to address the senate, first put on his head the royal crown wrought of fire, and covered the back of his head with a gleaming veil, which Athena herself, entrusted with its creation, had woven for him. Then over a pure white tunic he put a glass-green cloak, which was interwoven with points of starlight and glittered with all the twinkling of their fires. In his right hand outstretched he took two shining globes, one made of gold, the other of amber; and with his left hand leaned on a nine-stringed lyre. Gaia bound on his feet grass-green shoes, dyed with the green of emerald. He sat on a folded robe woven with the “eyes” of the tail feathers of peacocks, on which, like the bloom of spring, there was a picture made of many tiny specks of color; he rested his sandaled feet upon a trident.
The throne of Hera, placed lower than Zeus’ throne, was also suitably adorned. She herself was splendid, wearing on her head a milk-white mantilla, on which was placed a diadem set with precious stones; it had the green of a Scythian emerald, the sparkling fire of onyx, the sea-blue depth of sapphire. They say that the goddess of the rainbow [Iris] presented to the queen of heaven this crown intact from her own shining head. In the lasting radiance of her beauty, the goddess was like her brother, except that he [Zeus] was aglow with an immutable happiness [ie, heavenly light], while frequent changes often troubled her appearance [ie, clear skies vs storm clouds in the atmosphere]; for her tunic was grass-green, while her robe was made of cloud and when a shaft of light fell upon it it glowed beautifully with a clear brightness through the veiling clouds. She held the lightning in her right hand, and in her left a timbrel which reverberated with a fearsome thundering; the dew which flowed generously from her seemed to soak whatever was beneath these. Her shoes were very dark-colored, their soles especially being like night. Round her knees was a band of shifting color, now shining with the splendor of the full moon, now with its beauty all but vanished through some subtle change, as if it had never been of other colors.
