the adversary

i finally managed to give him a decent nose? maybe?

oh no! cupid stole your heart!

eve sketches 🐍

@something-indecent-and-dramatic okay I see now that I responded very quickly so I will elaborate a bit more here even in case someone else has the same doubt! 

The drawing is inspired by the moment in the fourth episode of the Bacchae in which Pentheus enters the stage dressed as a woman and the first thing he says is:

(i’m using a translation of T. A. Buckley that I found on the internet here)

about this I want to clarify that the Dionysus=bull one is not an isolated association that only Pentheus makes in a moment of hallucination, but that it is an image that keeps recurring in the whole tragedy (ex. when the bacchae refer to dionysus as to the “bull-horned god” or when Pentheus wants to imprison Dionysus but finds himself trying to imprison a bull) and in general also in some invocations linked to the dionysian cult outside the context of Euripides’ play

overall in the drawing i wanted to depict Dionysus in a moment in which he reveals himself to Pentheus who has finally accepted his divinity, and in this sense in my mind the bull conveys Dionysus’ powers (or at least his powers as we see them at the end of this tragedy) in a better way than a human form does.

i hope this answer has cleared up my choices a bit!! also thank you for the question <3

Pentheus and Dionysus, again 🐍🐂

dionysus as the fool for the dionysian tarot deck <3
