Legends & Lore

For the Legends & Lore set I decided to go a little retro, i.e. Ancient Greece & Egypt. So for your delectation I present a honey-wrapped sliver of Ancient Egyptian-ness when statement jewellery was BIG, and a plethora of Greek stars from a time when humans were muscly and Gods were nutjobs.

So get some wine, peel some grapes, and command your minstrel to strum his lyre while you daydream across the wine-dark sea.

Apollo
Bacchus/Dionysus
Icarus
Eros (Cupid), shoots people for love
Persephone, Hades’ supposedly reluctant wife. (A kingdom AND a lifetime supply of pomegranates sounds good to me.)
Hades and Cerberus
Orpheus
Hecate, goddess of witchcraft.
Narcissus
Odysseus, tied to the mast of his ship. (And Sirens WITH WINGS)
Pandora with her jar
Harpy (Aello) ‘one who snatches’.
Medusa the beautiful
Minotaur
Bast /Bastet and cat
Isis, mother of Egypt
Cleopatra and asp.
Ramses
Triton – a ‘sea-hued’ merman with barnacled shoulders. It’s an Old Greek Old Gregg.
The ‘Apotheosis’, when Zeus finally said ‘Oh ALRIGHT Heracles, you can come in as well.’
