Hyas, son of Atlas and Pleione
Brother of: the Hyades, the Hesperides, the Pleiades and Kalypso.
I have been sucked into the family of Atlas and this man's death will spiral into the death of five of his sisters, the Hyades, and posterior apotheosis into the Taurus constellations as the Hyades. His name means "rain" as so does the sisters.
His death changes a bit but in essence he dies mauled by lions, a boar or bit by snakes depending on the source (Ovid, Hyginus, Scholias, etc..). He is also tied with the first Boetians, called Hyantes.
In essence he is based upon many stuff First his chiton is Mykenaean shaped but the patterning is mostly Minoan for being such an early character, mythologically speaking. and the colouring is so reach as he is the son of a Titan and a oceanid! Plus the deep blues are the ones i associate with Kalypso, his sister, while the star patterning is a nod to Atlas and the Pleaides too! Meanwhile the golden ribbons are a link to the Hesperides!
Then, his bow is not Myceanean but a simple Ancient Egyptian bow but with Archaic Greek patterning!
And finally, the landscape is supposed to be set in Ancient Boeotia around the now drained, lake Kopais
And that are had azonal riparian vegetation with a Quercus dominated forest, hence why the trees drawn there! Plus the avifauna that i was just able to draw in silhouette as Lake Kopaïs was probably a huge resting place for migratory birds!
Also, I'm really damn proud of this drawing and research i did and i want everyone to see it, so...Tagtime: @polypharmakoss, @ironspdr6700, @venomspecs, @jamescartoon, @holy-mother-of-whumpers, @midnightlighthowlite, @miles-crow, @katerinaaqu, @dolihannah, @fullyconsumedbywhatlovesme, @maximumqueer, @arkimessa @post-troy-stress-disorder, @myblacknightworld, , @dinofanx, @perroulisses, @simugeuge, @smokey07, @arkimessa, @atar-a-ifigenia, @v4mp1rism, @cauliflawava, @shipperofthenineseas, @discordant-tongues @jamescartoon, @herb-on-a-stick, @tunguszka20, @thhouseofblack, @when-the-pawnn @most-sane-classicist

I think the moth died..
Goodnight
Btw i named it hesperide, since its an atlas moth and the hesperides were the daughters of atlas in greek myth
I love this vase of Perseus receiving the tools he needed for his quest from the nymphs, he looks so cute and polite. Athena is behind him and not wearing armor which reminds me of how in the Iliad she wears regular feminine clothes when she’s not in battle.

Really loved to see Atlas dressed up
Here the other half of the vase painting:
Attic red figure bell krater, ca. 425-376 BC.
Athena, Herakles with his ridiculous little boat Helios' boat, Atlas, Hesperis (one o the Hesperides or their mother), dragon Ladon and Hermes.
A condensation of the myth of Heracles in the lands of what is now the Atlas Mountains. Heracles needed Atlas to pick apples from the garden of the Hesperides, he deceived him in many ways and succeeded.
Why everyone in this painting is so diva? Even the snake is a diva.
Don't know how to explain how I love Atlas, there is no reason more than being dad of Calypso and in some versions of the Hesperides, I just love nymphs.
And just because some apple trees (imagining this at the Garden of the Hesperides):
Wait a sec is Atlas touching Ouranos butt?😀
My brain adores the idea that the daughters of Lord Hesperus the Evening Star are the beautiful sunset nymphs that protect the golden (forbidden) fruit of immortality.
“ The Hesperides were entrusted with the care of the tree of the golden apples which was had been presented to the goddess Hera by Gaia (the Earth) on her wedding day. They were assisted by a hundred-headed guardian-Drakon (Dragon). The three nymphs and their glowing, golden apples were regarded as the source of the golden light of sunset.”
It’s so cool when myths reaffirm little ideas like this. This is all upg but it just makes so much sense in my mind that the daughters of Lucifer are the nymphs who keep forbidden fruit, accompanied by a hundred headed dragon of all things. It perfectly reflects astral experiences I’ve had with Lucifer, the Garden of the Hesperides feels like a place I frequent often.
