✨My version of the “Abduction of Helen”, which is my contribution to @singomusezine, last volume coming out in July, as you know, full of great fellow artists drawing Greek Mythology awesomeness.
I chose this episode from The Iliad, Book III as the theme of the zine this year is about The Trojan War and all related.
🍏🦢 Paris and Helen of Sparta/Troy.
I was going to write about the meaning of the illustration and what I’ve expressed here, based on that episode, but I prefer to leave it to your understanding and imagination. And I’m sure you can also spot the little symbols I’ve included.
I hope you like it ❤️

I remain upright, even if I see myself humiliated,
even in my own eyes.
It is not to my liking to hear
the black asp of the devil and his sin
he will not win, he knows it,
however much he aspires with shame to wound me
in body and high soul.
It is not my habit to surrender
to pain, rather it is my spirit to brandish myself
opposed to impious strife,
opposed to seeing my neighbor as a burden
or an empty shadow;
My open hand extends
to Him my Faith, which guards me like a shield.
And yet... I pray
to halt the cruel state
I face, for I stumble
though I am well-versed in it.
And I long for the call of rest.
Meditating on my actions,
I like to advance slowly from my threshold,
banishing the noise,
for my kingdom and palace is
Silence and its topaz court:
Freedom and its joys,
Verses, Stories of harmony,
of wise interpreters.
Oh! I would welcome Time...
And listen to its joyful silence!
It's been a couple of weeks too much... just TOO MUCH, nothing but work and work and work and work AND WORK AND WORK!!!!!!!@$#@#@?#!?@#;!@?#.............. (IronSPDR.exe has stopped working)
Um... sorry about that. There have been some administrative changes, I've had a backlog of patients at my office, and I've had to take half a million reports home. I've been more grumpy than usual, and I'm recovering from a mini gastroenteritis outbreak (at least it was two days off, if being bedridden counts as a day off 😑).
Anyway, at least since Saturday I've been able to polish a little lyrical piece. I hope you like it. In Castilian metrics, this is a stanza called a "Lira" and is one of the most elegant, used especially by Fray Luis de León during the Spanish Golden Age. It is composed of heptasyllabic and hendecasyllabic lines with consonant rhymes 7A 11B 7A 7B 11B (my condolences to English speakers; it's such a delicate type of stanza that it even pained me to translate it into free verse 😭 but I couldn't think of how to adapt it to English metrics. If anyone has suggestions, please share them; I always love exploring new types of meters.)
Han sido un par de semanas demasiado... simplemente DEMASIADO, solo trabajar y trabajar y trabajar y trabajar Y TRABAJAR Y TRABAJAR!!!!!!!@$#@#@?#!?@#;!@?#.............. (IronSPDR.exe ha dejado de funcionar)
Emm... lo siento por eso. Ha habido algunos cambios administrativos, se me han acumulado pacientes en mi consultorio y he tenido que llevarme medio millón de reportes a casa. Lo he pasado más malhumorado que de costumbre y me estoy recuperando de una mini epidemia de gastroenteritis (al menos fueron dos días libres, si quedar postrado en cama cuenta como día libre 😑).
En fin, al menos desde el sábado he podido pulir un pequeño trabajito lírico. Espero les guste. En métrica castellana, esta es una estrofa llamada "Lira" y es una de las más elegantes, utilizada sobre todo por Fray Luis de León en el siglo de Oro español, se compone de heptasílabos y endecasílabos con rimas consonantes 7A 11B 7A 7B 11B (mis condolencias para los angloparlantes, es un tipo de estrofa tan delicada que hasta me dolió traducirla al verso libre 😭 pero no sé me ocurría como adaptarla a la métrica inglesa, si alguien tiene sugerencias, por favor, siempre me encanta explorar nuevos tipos de metros).
me when im SOOOOOOOO normal about greek mythology and curses and what not. anyway i like to think orestes a little hesitant abt matricide on the journey. when your cringe god bestows you with some fucking task

One of the scenes that moves me the most, after 20 years of not seeing each other, after suffering a lot, they make up for lost time, and luckily Athena grants them a favor.😋

This is a kind of gift for my dear friend @laiapolypharmakos 🌿 as the other day we were talking about HOW MUCH she loves Phrixus and everything around him so I had to draw this. I think the world needs more Phrixus and Helle art.
I admit it was a good excuse to draw something related to this myth, which I do love too (everything related to the Argonautica 🥰), but apart from that, I find this one in particular especially ✨MAGICAL✨. It reminds me a lot of typical fairy tales about the wicked stepmother and the siblings running away... Only, this time, the ending is quite sad for Helle 😢. Life goes on for Phrixus (as Medea's brother in law, which is no small thing 🙃).
Espero que t'agradi molt noia, per moltes hores més xerrant fins a les tantes arreglant el món i fent salseo mitològic ❤️
