In a Wine-Dark DreamDo you like Greek Mythology retellings but tired of constant stereotypical portrayals of the Gods? Annoyed that Ares is always the villain? Exhausted to see Demeter as a helicopter mother, vain Aphrodite, unattractive Hephaestos, and not to mention the media’s favorite opinion about Zeus? Want to see more of Hestia, or, maybe even the Titans? Then “In a Wine-Dark Dream” is a comic for you!It covers the stories of all major Gods with a focus on Dionysus and his ultimate journey from the underdog to the Olympian.I based this story not only on the mythology, which is too broad of a term anyway, but also on some archeological finds, religious views from Hellenistic Polytheism, and my personal understanding of the Gods.You can read it on Webtoon Canvas here: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/in-a-wine-dark-dream/list?title_no=619872This story is mostly my love letter to Dionysus, who appeared in my life when I needed him most. The least I can do is to write a story about him that doesn’t make me, as a Hellenistic polytheist, cringe. -- source link
