Color keys by David Goetz from the Art ofΒ The Hunchback of Notre Dame
These face paints are truly fascinating and beautiful, I love the example of this head with the striking contrast created by the red paint against the skin and how it complements the color of the lips, it's a lovely piece! The practice of painting suns on specific parts of the face is particularly intriguing, does it represent a connection to celestial themes?
And Helen using her beauty mark as the center of her forehead makeup is such an interesting idea to think about! Itβs like she was born for it and is just showing it off to the world! β¨β¨
According to Dares the Phrygian Helen has a beauty mark between her brows! What do you know? Greeks possibly considered moles attractive from that time hehe π but now I remember this amazing mycenaean female head from around 1300 BC
And now I imagine Helen when doing her makeup instead of painting the usual sun on her forehead she just draws the dots around her beauty mark instead! π€
I was about to question exactly the same thing in the messages you sent me hahahaha yup it just doesn't add up! Odysseus and his men can be cunning in their own way, but come on they are still human! The fact that they escape in the original was already a crazy feat, and here he makes the sirens beg them for mercy?? What the hell is this joke haha
Yeah, when in reality if you follow the actually original logic of the story, if Odysseus faced Sirens head on screaming stuff like "I'm a monster" they would laugh and eat his head XD This is not even drunk Caleb level of stupid hahaha Yeah somehow I already don't have a good feeling about that part lol
Maybe I'm giving them too much credit hahaha but damn that's the only thing that makes sense in my head with that "let them drown" phrase! Otherwise yeah it's just stupid XD Yes the creatures who outsmarted and killed thousands of sailors, who didn't even need to get close to them to do it, who made the original Odysseus and his men decide they would be better off passing past them as quickly as possible than face them! And now they are suddenly helpless useless little girls lool
Sirens: We shall sing right in front of your face and make idiotic mistakes so you will know what it is! Because we are obviously fake
Odysseus: I shall test you back because you make idiotic mistakes and I am fucking Odysseus of Ithaca who just sang a dramatic song before.
Them: We caught them captain! Because they were right in front of our faces now what?
Odysseus: Oh we have free time and we are not damaged enough so sure let us continue from that dramatic "monster" concept because we also have time to save other sailors (and we are sure we caught them all apparently?). Cut their tails and let them drown in the sea! (Because I am a monster rawr rawr!)
Sirens: We sing alluringly calling you to us giving you exact details on who you are and where you come from because we know your soul. Abandon your ship and come to us
Odysseus: *gets brainfucked and drugged and begs like a madman to be released from his binds (but still intelligent as fuck since his brain is still alert and he is fully conscious throughout the process)*
Eurylochus: Oh shit he is too strong the damn ropes are not holding! *signs to Perimedes to bring more ropes and tie the motherfucker harder*
Them: Oh we have no time to stop...row for your lives to get the hell out of here!
Sirens: out of sight through the whole process probably sitting at the highest of rocks since they are fucking birds
Odysseus: *the incantation wears off* Oh shit that was a wild ride! Thank gods it's over and I received the knowledge I was looking for... Okay guys you can untie me now...
Poor Priam π All you could do at this point is cross your arms and be like "Well. Shit."
Imagine being Priam and just having received your son with his new spouse and be like "Okay...the worst has happened. Now we expect retaliation from Sparta coming at any moment"
A while later when Troy was minding their own business like every day and suddenly the retaliation you expected finally arrives. However is not just Sparta...
You see over 1000 ships arriving from afar with their colorful sails carrying all major kings of all major cities of Greece under the banners of the previous suitors of Helen's including the richest of all, Agamemnon, the offended husband Menelaus from yet another rich city, a freaking demigod Achilles known for his strength in battle and rumored to be invulnerable by weapons and the infamous Odysseus known for his cunning and indirect ways.
You know you are up for a wild ride. Potentially you already know you are screwed.
And now the music called "Pines of Rome" from the version of Fantasia 2000 plays rentfree in my head!
