question not related to art (yet):
lately i have been reading the dionysiaca by nonnus and just yesterday i have reached the part in which actaeon's myth is told. nonnus makes acteaeon climb a tree in order to spy on artemis, and i wanted to ask - how popular is this element in this myth? because it is very clear that here nonnus intends to draw as many parallels between actaeon and pentheus as possible (as he should) and if i remember correctly in ovid there are no mentions of actaeon climbing a tree. does someone knows any other classical versions in which this element is present?
thank you in advance
very quick pentheus wearing the necklace of harmonia

hades and persephone for a friend <3
[prints avaiable here!]
sketch for the latest drawing I posted 👁
Dionysus with the head of Pentheus! I couldn’t decide which version to post, so have both of them 🎭
I keep posting about Dionysus and Pentheus but this time you get the other side of the triad of cursed cousins, and that is Actaeon and Pentheus 🦌🦁
I will always prefer to draw Dionysus with dark hair but for Euripides I can make an exception
Baby satyrs 🐝🎭🐍
Athena isn’t having it today… lol
Gosh this sounds terrifying, it's even worse when you take peace and security for granted and were not at all expecting the chaos and horror that unfolds... Waking up to it must be like believing one is having a nightmare you can't escape from... A cold bloody victory for the Greeks tho, such different perspectives!
Fantastic posts about the Iliad and myths girl, and your writings and one shots too ❤️ the one inspired by Pocahontas is both beautiful and emotional in their goodbye 😭❤️ As always amazing job with your writing ✨✨❤️❤️

What Trojans must have heard that fateful night some time during bronze age, 3000 years ago
I mean imagine they went to sleep thinking they won and the Greeks had left and then they wake up facing hell with houses burning people screaming and the Greeks entering the city killing and capturing and sacking their city that was safe for 10 years!
