Tried drawing the two main characters from Disney’s 1934 short  “The Goddess of Spring” in a more modern, Glen Keane inspired Disney style. 

_{Though the Devil {he’s technically supposed to be Pluto/Hades but… yeeeah he’s pretty much just plain ol’ Satan in this short}  came out looking like Christian Bale with a beard… I don’t know what that says about me.}

women in literature and folklore: persephone 

Tell me that you weren’t hungry that day.
Tell me that’s not what got you to stay.
Seven seeds don’t seem like quite enough
Reason to leave a mother’s deep love.

women in literature and folklore: lady of the lake

This mysterious female gave Arthur his sword, Excalibur. She stole Lancelot when he was a child and cured him when he went mad. She may be a Celtic lake divinity in origin, perhaps of the same kind as the Gwagged Annwn - lake fairies in modern Welsh folklore.

Greek Mythology Picspam - Hades & Persephone

I want to wipe out all the sad ideas
that come to me when I am holding you
We’ve got obsessions
All you ever think about are sick ideas involving me, involving you
Can’t let your cold heart be free
You never told me what it was that made you strong
and what it was that made you weak   (x)

Hades and Persephone - She left her majesty; she loosed the zone, of darkness and put by the rod of dread. Standing, she turned her back upon the throne, where, well she knew, the Ruler of the Dead, Lord of her body and being, sat like stone

crown-and-glory:

hades and persephone

there, in front of the ends of the earth, stand the echoing halls of the god of the underworld, strong hades, and of dread persephone.

Hades is having a great time, as you can see.

mythology series → the bride of death persephone [Περσεφόνη]

i was a heavy heart to carry
my beloved was weighed down
my arms around his neck
my fingers laced to crown

i was a heavy heart to carry
my feet dragged across ground
and he took me to the river

where he slowly let me drown
