Dionysus/ Zagreus

Id like to think the two gods are kinda one in the same like a fusion. Two minds, one body

Dionysos is the god of students.

No I won't elaborate.

[. . .] Dionysos was anciently known to be the fierce and merciless protector of that which merits mercy: the unborn, the possible, the serendipitous — of any helpless, voiceless being.

— The God Who Comes by Rosemarie Taylor-Perry

I WILL GIVE YOU MY FIRST BORN (husband's cat) FOR SOME MORE DIONYSUS

Welp, his cat now. I think he’ll name it Wiggles.

They say gender is a performance, if that’s true then…

Bitch I am

🎭The Bacchae🍇

In regards on how Dionysus was portrayed in this year's Olympics's ceremony, i would like to start a petition to start portraying Dionysus in general as a handsome, charismatic man.

It's time to stop glorifying this false image of him (drunk, useless, laughing stock) so let's make a start, here's how i draw him for example:

—The Bacchae—

An older art piece I did for the play The Bacchae! 💕🍇🍷

sketches for my latest drawing

I will always prefer to draw Dionysus with dark hair but for Euripides I can make an exception 

Pentheus and Dionysus, again 🐍🐂

Sketches for the latest drawing I posted!

So fun fact I’m a hellenic poltheist and I’ve made a discord server for other polytheists and I’m currently working on the athenian calendar for the year. So like if anyone wants to join that’d be dope.

Ampela, daughter of Dionysus.

Dionysos, Apollon, and Hermes—doodles that help me stay sane in class. I'm very happy with this, though it's unfinished right now. i hope to transfer it over to some good paper and have some fun with colors <3

. please do not repost for any reason

When Apollo is rampaging out of your door, and you have no Auntie Hestia at home, ready to pamper you with cuddles, comfort and a safe cleansing with fire that will kill one by one each germ… Well, what to say, maybe it’s really the time to stay put at home.

Especially if you’d go to meet some very mortal, very sensible to disease-bringing arrows friends.

(you were wondering how come our Hestia is not a jerk as her family? Well, she kinda goes by the rule “Manners maketh the man”. She’ll snap her fingers and incinirate you with zero regrets if you get on her bad side, but with a smile on her face and saying thank you and please can you just move away from that rug it looks like it’d be a mess to clean like the polite lady she is.)
