It's the Day of Ares / Mars' Day / #Tuesday!

Red-figure pottery with #Ares motif, as the Pergamon Museum in Berlin puts it. Whose hand is he holding? Is it maybe #Aphrodite being led to bed by Ares, as recounted in the #Odyssey?
"He [Ares] took her hand and spoke thus to her: 'Come, my darling; let us go to bed and take our delight together.'"

It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thorsday

In this plaster cast of an ancient Roman relief of #Zeus-Jupiter, the King of the Gods is shown standing up, holding his thunderbolt and a scepter. A cloak is draped over the shoulder of the otherwise nude god, who appears as a mature, bearded man with a pretty braid of hair around his forehead.
Dated ca. 117–138 CE.

It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday!

#Hermes and a #satyr on their way home from the #NewYearsParty 😉
Perhaps it is one of his three sons known as the Satyroi Hermeides, #satyrs who became the messengers of Dionysos.
Athenian red-figure vase painting, dated ca. 525-475 BCE, today in Berlin Antikensammlung F2160

We start the #NewYear with something cute: #Ares bending down to talk to his son #Eros, depicted on a Roman oil lamp made of white clay.
Eros is a winged young boy holding the shield and spear of his father. Ares is in the nude except for his crested helm.
Or could it be Phobos or Deimos?

Meet this gorgeous #Ares designed by @SanioArt@twitter.com! Note the #dogs, a sacred animal of the war god, and the shields adorned with what I think is an owl, in the decoration of the plate in the background 😊

It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology!
This tender scene by sculptor #Praxiteles shows baby #Dionysos in the arms of his big brother #Hermes. It's one of my favourite pieces from #antiquity 🥺
The #artwork was made in the 4th century BCE and rediscovered in 1877 in the ruins of the Temple of Hera in Olympia.
