In The Beginning There Were Chaos And Nyx And The Black Erebus And The Wide Tartarus, But There Were
In the beginning there were Chaos and Nyx and the black Erebus and the wide Tartarus, but there were not Earth, nor Air, nor Sky; and in the wide hole of Erebus, first of all Nyx of black wings created an egg raised by the wind, from where in the cyrcle returning seasons bloomed Eros the Desirable, with his refulgent back from two golden wings, similar to speedy whirlwinds. And he at night blending with winged Chaos, in the wide Tartarus, hatched our people, and firstly brought to the light. Until then there were not immortal seed, before Eros mixed everything; but being mixed each other, birthed Uranus and Oceanus, and Earth and seed without destruction of all blessed Gods.

Temple of Apollo Palatinus.
The greatness of Apollo in Rome was not just about arts, but politics and military, since he was tutelary deity of Republican Court.
When, in 36 bC, Octavian August won against Sexus Pompey's troops, he thanked Apollo for his providential action and so built a temple on Palatine Hill. The choice of the place upon which was guided by a divine manifastion, e.g in the same place where a lightning fell inside an August's property on Palatine Hill.
Inside the temple (it says that it had ivory doors and magnificent bas-reliefs) there was a sculptural group, object of worship: Apollo, his sister Diana and their mother Leto.
There were kept Sibylline Books, because Apollo was also God of Divination.

ΓΕΝΕΣΙΑ
- Towards to Autumn Equinox, when military campaigns ended, in Athens there were Genesias (a.k.a. Nemesia): funeral festivals where they honored their ancestors, specially the ones dead in battle.
- During the day, they offered sacrifices to Gea with public worship, while in private they went to family graves to clean them and tell about the ones who there was not anymore. At the end, to their own ancestors, they offered vases full of (olive) oil.
- This festival is well suited to the feeling that permeated ancestors worship: when Nature started its own descent in Underworld, social and spiritual actions would reflected it too.

My last drawing tutorial was back in 2017, whoa, welp it looks like my drawing skills have gotten better. Since I have some more spare time, I will be doing new/updated art tutorials revisiting some of my previous topics.
I’ll post the tips publicly but my reference material and examples will be Patreon exclusive. If you like these tips and want to see more, support my Patreon! It allows me to focus on more material like this and I would really appreciate it .
