old gods becoming earth
In highschool i had the biggest crush on the greek god Hermes.. so of course i love to draw him
one of my favourite Hermes myths is when Hera finds out Zeus’s affair with the mortal girl Io, and turns her into a cow. Hera charges her thousand-eyed guard Argus to keep a constant watch over Io in case Zeus gets any ideas to take her. Zeus sends his son Hermes, the god of swiftness, speed, and smuggling, the steal her back. Although Hermes fails to return Io, he brutally kills Argus by first befriending him, singing to him, playing music for him, and lulls him to sleep–then slaughters him and takes his eyes as a trophy.
