Bienvenidos a la serie Mitos Griegos. Originalmente concebí (hace 20 años) esta serie de ilustraciones en colaboración con una tienda llamada The Room en Walton St. en Londres, propiedad de dos personas que se convertirían en amigos para toda la vida. Así que un gran agradecimiento a Philip y Christopher por hacer posible que esta obra se concibiera y se materializara. La serie incluye cuatro pares de diseños:
Jupiter and Juno, the Roman equivalents of the Greek deities Zeus and Hera, were siblings and spouses who reigned as the King and Queen of the Gods. Their relationship was fundamentally characterized by a tension between shared authority over the cosmos and a deeply tumultuous personal marriage marked by Jupiter's constant infidelity and Juno's jealous vengefulness.
Jupiter is the supreme god of the pantheon, equivalent to the Greek god Zeus. As the king of gods and the god of the sky, thunder, and lightning, Jupiter was the patron deity of the Roman state, ensuring law, order, and justice. While his myths are almost identical to Zeus, Roman tradition portrays Jupiter as a more solemn, stately guardian of state power and oaths, often worshipped on the Capitoline Hill.
Juno is the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Hera, acting as the Queen of the Gods, wife of Jupiter (Zeus), and patron deity of marriage, women, and childbirth. While sharing Hera's mythological stories of jealousy toward Jupiter’s lovers and children, Roman tradition portrayed Juno as a more dignified protector of the state and Roman matrons.
Centaurs in Greek mythology are hybrid creatures—half-human, half-horse—representing the struggle between civilization and primal barbarism. Primarily originating from Thessaly, they are depicted as wild, lustful, and inebriated beings who symbolize chaos. While most are violent, notable exceptions like Chiron represent wisdom.
In Greek mythology, Pegasus is a majestic, immortal winged stallion, usually depicted as pure white, who sprang from the blood of Medusa after Perseus beheaded her. Sired by Poseidon, he is known for creating the Hippocrene spring with his hoof, aiding the hero Bellerophon against the Chimera, and serving Zeus by carrying thunderbolts.
Atlas is a prominent Titan in Greek mythology, renowned as the Titan of endurance, strength, and astronomy. He is most famous for his eternal punishment of holding up the heavens (the celestial sphere) on his shoulders.
Oceanus is a major Titan deity in Greek mythology, representing the vast, earth-encircling freshwater river that the ancient Greeks believed surrounded the world. As a first-generation Titan, he is the son of Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth) and was considered the "Father of the Waters," from which all rivers, springs, and wells were believed to flow.
The myth of Jason and the Argonauts is one of the most famous hero-quest tales in Greek mythology, focusing on the theft of the Golden Fleece to reclaim a stolen throne. Jason, the son of the king of Iolcus, was sent on a "suicide mission" by his usurping uncle, Pelias, who feared a prophecy about a man with one sandal.
The Trojan Horse is a pivotal myth from the end of the 10-year Trojan War. After a decade of failed sieges against the fortified city of Troy, the Greeks, led by Odysseus, used a cunning strategy: they constructed a massive hollow wooden horse, hid an elite team of warriors inside, and pretended to sail away, making the Trojans believe the Greeks had surrendered and left the horse as a peace offering to the goddess Athena.
