#hera #heracles #greek myth #red figure pottery #the myth of heracles #i'd never seen a depiction of these two like this before #i mean #i knew their cults were associated in practice #and vice versa #in such #a domestic intimate and familial relation before #gods #now im sad whatever stories backed up this depiction #didn't survive to the modern day #as far as i know #u_u #but also happy and excited!!! #because i'd always thought #from his name #that there must have been a closer and less combative #hera and heracles tradition #and this suggests that was the case #in its own tiny way #^u^ ^u^ ^u^ #ok i'll calm down now #appreciative reblogs
