A few days ago I stated that #Artemis and #Persephone were my favorite goddesses.
That's only partly correct, they're my favorite Greek ones.
My favorite God of all time is #Ishtar

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.'"

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. 117β138 CE.

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?

Hello #Mythodon,
what are your favourite #mythology tropes?
One of mine is how Odin can shapeshift but always remains one eyed.
