I was curious and wanted to see if I could find the earliest appearance of Aphrodite in ancient Greek art. The Judgment of Paris Amphora from 575-550 BCE was the earliest I could find, and I drew a picture of her based off of that design.

Charon the ferryman of the Underworld.
In ancient art, he is depicted simply as a man in a pilos cap. Adding some macabre interest to his classical depiction, I figured he would adorn his humble clothes with the coins he takes from the dead.

I think the perception of Medea and the disdain people have for her is very much informed by the fact that she’s a woman, but also by contemporary social standards.
With that in mind, I was trying to think of what a contemporary equivalent of Medea’s story would be. (1/12)

I might be mistaken, but I think in the Odyssey Helen says she was manipulated by Aphrodite. I actually find the relationship between Helen and Paris in relation to Aphrodite's power to be really interesting because it directly relates to realistic emotions.

Aphrodite's magic was able to get Helen to Troy, but once Helen gets to know Paris, the magic has little affect on her. It's just like how you might be attracted to someone, and once you get to know them and realize they're awful that attraction instantly ends.

It's one of those human connections that makes the Iliad such a classics. Thousands of years later we still relate to it because human attraction and desire haven't really fundamentally changed.
