THE MARES OF DIOMEDES.
The Mares of Diomedes were four horses, named Deinos (terrible), Lampon (shining), Podargos (swift), and Xanthos (yellow). They were known for their beauty and wild nature.
The horses were driven mad by unknown force. This caused them to eat human flesh. They were only appeased and were only manageable when fed on human meat this made them calm.
The Mares belonged to King Diomedes of Thrace, who kept them tethered with iron chains in a bronze manger in the town of Tirida. They were used to consume strangers who were put into the manger to feed the horses.
The Mares of Diomedes were one of the tasks assigned to Heracles by King Eurystheus as part of the Twelve Labours of Heracles. Heracles had to bring the horses back to Eurystheus, which he accomplished by feeding them their master, Diomedes, and then calming them.
The Mares symbolize the attraction for excessive asceticism that constrains the energies of life and must be reoriented. They represent the need to break free from constraints and find a balance between the natural and the unnatural.
Stories of the Mares of Diomedes appear in many other classical works, among them, those written by Euripides, Diodorus Siculus, and even Ovid, Statius, Lucan, and Seneca. These accounts provide detailed descriptions of the horses' appearance, behavior, and the nature of Heracles' difficult tasks in trying to catch them.
Since I posted the drawing of princess Luna from the “Friendship is Tragic” audio drama, I also decided to post this one too!
This is Lampon, one of the Queens of Diomedes, absolute sweetie, baby that needs to be protected, and that isn’t a discussion 💛
A long time ago in my Percy Jackson phase, I had an idea about Nico adopting the Mares of Diomedes. Because, you know, he would totally adopt four man-eating horses and consider them cute.
I drew a picture of him walking with the four of them in hand back then. I remember being proud of the picture at the time and I still look back on this idea with great fondness. So, since I obviously don’t know how to sleep, I decided to try my hand at recreating it. I have to say I’m happy with the results.
the only negative to living on your own is that you can't rely on your mom to go through the embarrassment of buying tampons
