Small update: We were discussing this interpretation on Ig, but we found no evidence of it in the ancient world. Did your academic course provide you with the source? That would be a huge help!
Thank you so much! And I agree, the story of Dionysus is particularly interesting!
Haha yeah, I had heard that, but it would actually have been impossible to represent indeed!
At least there's more space in the thigh 😂
When the time came, he unstitched his thigh and, to protect him, brought him into the world alone, away from Hera's eyes.
Finally, he entrusted him to his herald, Hermes, to take him to a safe place and watch over him during his infancy.
To save him, Zeus sewed him into his thigh as if it were a second womb and carried the pregnancy to term until the Moirai deemed him ready.
The Birth of Dionysus, My Interpretation
When Semele d1ed at the hands of Zeus' thunderbolt, the child in her womb was only six months old.

The most famous messenger of the gods has arrived ✉️✨
Hermes, god of messengers, travelers, hospitality, theft, cunning, orators, commerce, athletics, herds, astronomy and astrology. He also serves as a psychopomp, a guide to lead souls to the afterlife.
Oh, and he's part of Zeus' retinue!
Thank you so much 💗⏳
"Time is a Circle" comic update ⏳✨
We're on Part 3, yay!
This part is about Kronos' backstory before he became a father.
As always, this is my interpretation and is recommended for mature audiences!
Frying pan 😂
He finally fell asleep holding her in his arms, on a soft, flowery meadow he had created.
Hypnos later warned Poseidon that Zeus was distracted, so the sea god resumed his form and personally led the Achaeans into battle.
To respect the goddess' modesty, as she didn't want to be seen like this by gods and mortals alike, Zeus promised to cover them with golden clouds.
After dressing up, she went to Zeus with the excuse of having to leave to help with the marriage of Oceanus and Tethys. Zeus couldn't resist the sight of her and immediately wanted to unite with her, telling her to come see them later.
She then asked for help from Aphrodite, lying to her about the reason, who gave her the breast band that arouses desire in men and gods, and from Hypnos, who, after Hera had united with Zeus, would put him to sleep.
Seeing this, Hera also decided to help the Achaeans, despite Zeus' orders, and so she devised a plan. She decided to seduce Zeus to distract him so that Poseidon could operate undisturbed.
He urged the Achaean leaders (Agamemnon, Odysseus, and Diomedes, who had been wounded, plus Nestor) to attack alongside the soldiers, to prove to Achilles that they could win even without him.
Zeus had forbidden the gods to intervene in the battle between the Greeks and Trojans, but Poseidon, ignoring the prohibition, went to the battlefield disguised as an old man.
Parody of Iliad, chapter 14, "Beguiling of Zeus"
Brief context in the comments ⬇️
he needs to work on his seduction methods 😂 and thank you, I like to imagine him like this, always with emotions running high 💙

Sorry for this excess of nonsense, I had to compensate for the angst 😅
