Underworldby *Arbetta

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Other

I didn't know how to call these Greek deities as a group... I guess it's ok to mention the Underworld because all of them belong there in some way. I decided to draw something related to the dead for Halloween, but not specially scary stuff

From left to right, up to down:

The Erinyes (The Furies): goddesses of vengeance, "those who beneath the earth punish whosoever has sworn a false oath". In the Greek tradition they are three: Alecto, Megaera and Tisiphone.
Hades and Persephone: the king and queen of the underworld... I really like this couple

Melinoe: possibly their daughter, goddess of the ghosts and the offerings to the deceased.
Hecate: ancient and powerful goddess related to magic, necromancy, wilderness and witchcraft.

Hope you like them

I LOVE how there is so much chacter in each of these drawings. I don't know if this will make any sense as I try to describe it, but it's like just the pictures sort of... give way to the other senses. I feel like I can see them move, and I can hear their shreaks and sighs, and just be invited into their world. That probably sounds like I'm a nutcase, but it's how I feel, and makes your already awesome art just even more fantastic! You very much bring these characters to life.

This is actually pretty accurate. Macaria is said to be the daughter of Hades, but her mother is never mention. But I like your design.

i like your picture, sorry i'm more than bit late to the party to say so. i'm curious though, and i figure you're a good person as any to ask, why you and other people enjoy the hades/persephone coupling so much? i mean i like your picture but i'm always curious what makes people decide they're in love since in their story zeus tricks her into getting captured and raped by hades and then when she finally gets to leave, he tricks her into eating a pomegranate which forces her to come down to the darkness of the underworld every year. (not trying to be rude just curious) can you please explain why people find that romantic?

Well, Hades really loved her and wasn't a bad guy. He didn't rape her, he wanted to marry her. I read a comic once that showed their story, and in it, Persephone sees the gentle nature behind his grim facade and eventually comes to love him too. It was so sweet
