“…the dread goddess came from the furthest depths to accept the sacrifices of the son of Aison. Around her head was a garland of terrible snakes entwined with oak branches, and her torches flashed out a blinding brightness; all around her was the piercing bark of hellish dogs. All the fields trembled at her approach; the marsh-dwelling nymphs of the river who dance around that meadow of the Amarantian Phasis screamed aloud.”
-The Argonautica. Apollonius of Rhodes

I’ve drawn Hekate so many times, I wanted to do something new. Then I remembered this chilling passage from the Argonautica where Jason summons the goddess in one of her chthonic incarnations Hekate Brimo (Terrifying Hekate). It kind of reads straight out of a horror movie, so that’s the vibe I went with.
