"Magic, witchcraft, necromancy - these were all domains of the Greek goddess Hecate. You could find her at the crossroads or wherever and whenever you need her help. Hecate's name means ""worker from afar,"" alluding to her ability to impact many events through her magic powers. This painting, named Hecate: Procession to a Witches' Sabbath, shows Hecate with the souls of those who died too early, which was another of her domains."

"You probably know that Hades can mean both the God of the Underworld and the Underworld itself. But did you know that Styx refers to the river Styx but also to its goddess? The goddess Styx is a powerful deity, transferring souls from the world of living to the Underworld. Yet, in artistic depictions, Styx is most often showed as a river, not as a goddess. For example, this painting by Joachim Patinir"

"The moon has been connected to female fertility since the dawn of time. It makes no wonder that most moon deities were female, including Selene, the Greek Moon goddess. Selene ensured that the daily cycle of day and night went uninterrupted. She brought subtle yet helpful light even to the darkest nights, helping people, especially sailors, to navigate their travels. There are numerous artistic depictions of Selene, with this pottery art showing her in the sky full of stars."

"One of the most beautiful yet sad love stories from Greek mythology is the story of the nymph Clytie. She fell in love with Helios, the god and personification of the Sun. For a while, he was equally enamored with her, but soon his interest shifted to another nymph. Heartbroken, Clytie sat on the cold ground and raised her eyes up to the sky to see her beloved, at least from afar. She continued to watch the Sun, following his every move, and that's how sunflowers were born."

"When Cronus overthrew Uranus, he took his sister Rhea to be his consort. Together, they ruled over the universe, and they also gave birth to Olympian gods. As Rhea was giving birth to their children, Cronus would swallow them one by one out of fear of having the same fate as his father, Uranus. In this picture, Rhea is shown showing her newborn child to Cronus, not suspecting that he would swallow it." - Cronus by Karl Friedrich Schinkel

As such, she was also considered the source of language and writing. In most of her artistic depictions, Mnemosyne is a young and beautiful woman with wavy hair and a somewhat pensive facial expression." - Mnemosyne by National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona

"We all know Hades is the god of the Underworld, but what if there was a god with similar powers, yet older and maybe even more powerful? Meet Tartarus - a god that shares his name with the Underworld - that's how feared and revered he was. Along with Gaia, he emerged from Chaos, which makes him one of the most ancient gods. Within Tartarus' version of the Underworld, many lost souls and fallen gods have found their place of eternal suffering. You can see the despair of the place in this artwork by James Barry"
