A (Greek) Fairy Tale in Photos: Zeus and Hera

Every Friday, I tell you a fairy tale exclusively through photos but now that I'm bringing it back, we're going to the Greek Gods! Get ready for some good times. Each week is a different theme and I search through Deviantart to find you the best of the best--whether they be pretty or spooky. All are welcome here! None of these photos are mine and you can always find a link to the proper owners underneath the photo in the caption area!

This week, we are going to look at the Father of Gods Zeus and his first wife Hera. I've always liked these two together and since their searches didn't produce a lot of photography individually, I thought we could check out some family art.

I think the Hera pictured ended up being cooler than the Zeus ones which kind of sucks. I love 9 in Zeus though and I think my favorites in Hera are 5 and 11. The colors in 11 are gorgeous and 5 is just so interesting to look at.

This week we are going to war wit hthe Goddess that oversees it. When I was little I loved Athena because she was powerful. After learning more about her misdeeds as an adult, I like her a little less (poor Medusa) but these photos are all awesome.

I was surprised with the amount of gorgeous Athena photos I find. I particularly love photo 6. It reminds me a lot of the old (and better) Nightshade cover by Andrea Cremer. I also like photo 15 a lot too.

That's it for this week! This was a surprisingly hard topic to find photos for. It mostly brought up aircrafts and baby animals (which are always cute to look at but not right for what I'm doing here). I think my favorites are 13 and 2. Which do you like?
