First of all, I apologize for the long time in making this page. This has been a harsh period of exams and I really didn't feel like drawing when I was done with the day schedule, so, once again: sorry.
One way or another I've studyied greek literature for nine years and I'm ever convinced that Zeus was a huge douche. Also, since we are totally used to seeing egiptian gods, greek gods, roman gods but very seldom rapresentatives of other pantheons I 'm putting here and there pre-roman italian gods/mithical entities. "Lupuke" (name's invented) is a bizzarre creature found on the lid of a bronze vase from Bisenzio (northern Italy). The creature is depicted chained and surrounded by a group of men equipped with lances(here and here). Archaeologist hypothise that this creature might depict either the incarnation of death (and the warrior dance around it as some sort or apotropaic rite) or some sort of underworld demon. "Lupuke" is "he who's dead" in etruscan (not exactly, actually, but nevermind.).
Dayum, I should stop using dark background on dark furred characters!

After all ancient greeks had a fixation for gym; probably the main god of their pantheon was super-pumped up. Like on the Pergamum's altar the headless guy on the left is him.
Fun (?) fact: "gym(nasium)" comes from the greek adjective "Gymnos" which means naked.

Bodies, gymnasia where places where the greek citizens could exercise and practice sports (though the term sport doesn't apply for that time since it wasn't practiced for fun). Given that sportswear didn't yet exist they practiced naked as it was more comfortable. "Mind" training was usually done at home: wealthy families often employed philosophers as private teachers (though it actuallydepends on the period we're talking about. I speak generally of the period between the second half V century before Christ and the first half of the IVth)
Well, well, Artemis and Athena were pretty douchy themselves: the first one transformed Actaeon in a deer and had him devoured by his own hounds because he accidentally stumbled upon the pond in which she was taking a bath. Probably didn't have the chance to see not even a sideboob, the poor devil. Athena, which is mildly more tactful then the others still blinded Tiresia for glimpsing her naked. What's with greek goddesses bathing around naked and then get pissed when people accidentally peep them, I mean, c'mon!
