Stories of the Past 14

Description

The fourteenth page was supposed to be the last one, but as usual I miscalculated how many panels that were needed for the replies (Li really needs to start writing down a detailed script before she starts to draw). So there will be one more page after this one. ^^;

I have always imagined Athena and Prometheus as very good friends, maybe even very close friends, because of their common concern for humanity and that they're both very intelligent. In some legends they actually seem to be connected with each other. Prometheus (instead of Hephaistos) is sometimes said to have released Athena from Zeus' head and according to one version, Athena helped Prometheus to steal fire from the gods and they were accused of having sexual feelings for each other.

Athena usually gets along better with men than with women, but she is a virgin. I think she is afraid of being "conquered" and losing herself in some way (also she didn't have many good examples of functional relationships in her family).

Some great physical moments in this - I love love love Athena pulling Hermes' hat down over his eyes, and Hestia's means/manner of communication. Also really like the perspective on the hallway in the sixth panel.

Your interpretations of myth are fascinating, too. I wasn't familiar with the connection between Athena and Prometheus, I don't think? (I read a lot of versions when I was much younger, but some of it's a little foggy now.)
