Athena and the Aegis

6634bdddb4d67944c1428101

I'm really proud of this image, as it gives a lot of emphasis to Athena's Aegis and the source of this weapon. This is not something I've seen illustrated much at all, if ever, and I'm always excited to portray such pivotal events that other arts have neglected in the past. I wanted this scene to feel mystical and sacred, so I brought in some moonlight for color contrast, and warm incense smoke to add to the ethereal tone of the scene.  I chose to have a spirit version of Athena taking the head to show the process of accepting it and then placing it upon her armor.

With justice served and my mother saved, I, Perseus return my unbreakable harpe sword to Hermes, and the helmet of invisibility and winged sandals to the Hesperides. As for Medusa’s head- I offer it to grey-eyed Athena who places the head upon her Aegis (armored breastplate) as a sacred weapon.  

Later in life, I return to my homeland, Argos, to find that my grandfather has fled, terrified of the original prophecy that foretold his death at my hands. His destiny proves inescapable when During a set of athletic games, a stray throw of my discus strikes him down. With my wife, Andromeda, by my side, we go on to found the great kingdom of Mycenae, ensuring that our legacy will live on through history.
