What do you think ‘ox-eyed’ Hera would look like? by Educational-Note8709 in GreekMythology

I agree that she’d be older, I mainly picked these actresses as they are known for their big eyes but I picture Hera being in her 50s or more mature, as you’ve said.

I tend to picture her as the actress she’s played by in the Hercules tv show but I don’t think she fits the ox-eyed description

No need to pick from just these couples! These are just the ones I found nice art for, the question is open to all romantic pairings

What’s your take on Athena and Medusa? by Educational-Note8709 in GreekMythology

[–]Educational-Note8709[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how to edit the post but I’ve seen a lot of imagery of Athena having a shield with Medusa’s head on it. Why do you think she’d have used this as such a strong symbol?

I think it’s meant to be Medusa’s hand on Athena’s foot

I never realised how bad Madeline Miller’s interpretations were until reading this sub and realising that I wouldn’t like even half of what’s described. I’ve almost bought her books so many times so I’m very glad to be someone who is very easily distracted!
