Description "Eris, the goddess of strife, was not invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. She came anyway, and she threw a golden apple into the middle of the wedding. Inscribed on the apple was a message. It read "To the fairest."

Immediately, the apple was claimed by Hera, Athena and
Aphrodite. They all asked Zeus to decide on who should receive the apple. Zeus knew how much trouble he would be in if he decided on one, because the other two would have grave revenge.

So Zeus descended to Mount Ida where Paris was farming and asked him to be the Judge.
Paris, being a mortal, could not decide. However, each of the three goddesses decided to make it easier for him. They would each offer him gifts, and he would get the gifts form the goddess he chose.

Hera offered Paris power. She offered to give him all of Asia, and great power. He thought this offer was great, but he decided to hear the other offers first before deciding.

Athena offered him great wisdom, and great luck in battle. He would be the best strategist in the world. He loved this idea, but he waited to hear Aphrodite's offer.

Aphrodite offered him two things. The first was his body, and the second was the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen. Since Paris's first love was women, he decided to pick Aphrodite's offer. Hera and Athena vowed vengeance."

***

Drawn for the newest contest: Titans of Myth. I really love the idea, so I guess I'll draw more of that stuff, even if only one painting can participate in the contest.

I had sooo much fun drawing this I had to do some research like the most famous symbols of Hera and Aphrodite and how ancient greek fashion looks like...

And since I don't believe that the greeks knew cheap hairgel, I decided on doing Rob's hair like it is in the movie... (und ich musste ihn mir dafΓΌr ansehen *schauder* ekliger film mit ekliger Kussszene >.< *lalalalalalala* )

Anyway, a short explanation on why I chose the Goddesses like this (for anyone who isn't that familar with the greek mythology) :

Athena:
Goddess of Wisdom and Power, rational, intelligent, ruled by reason and never emotinal or compassionate...
I think we all know why I chose Raven for her

Aphrodite:
Goddess of love and beauty, a gorgeous, perfect, eternally young woman with a beautiful body...
Isn't Star just perfect for her?

Hera:
Goddess of marriage, as beautiful as Aphrodite, determined defender of the sanctity of marriage and monogamy...
Okay, doesn't really fit Terra, but she was the only one left xD

Okay, nearly done with all the explanation stuff...
But: regarding the fact that our Titans are the Protagonists in here: Do you think Robin's decision will be the same as it is in the legend??
Would he really choose a woman over "great wisdom and great luck in battle"???
I leave that to your imagination

Dedicated:
To every single Titan fan out there!!!!

Please let me know what you think of it!!

OMG!!!! i totally get it! hermes gave paris (robin) the golden apple a told him to give it to the goddess of i choosing.
he could have picked from hera (terra), aphrodite (starfire), or athena (raven). he picked aphrodite, moron. i think star and terra should be switched.

TheNewDorothyGale [2010-11-21 04:42:14 +0000 UTC]

actually I dont think Star was a good choice at all for her. I always thought she was kind of ugly, and she's too nice to be Aphrodite (who was quite possibly the Regina George of the gods, but more vindictive). I love Raven as Athena but I disagree about them both being unemotional. Athena just wasn't a total vengeful, immature drama queen like most of the gods were; hence why she was the wisest! Raven was known for her temper and I think she was one of the most compassionate heroes from the show and she cared deeply about her friends.

Jurodan [2008-03-23 14:57:02 +0000 UTC]

Cyborg could have been a decent Hephaestus (though his weird crippled legs don't really fit Cyborg, the God of the Forge would fit fairly well). Terra would probably be better as Persephone, the tragic goddess who was tricked into marrying Hades.

Still, I think the picture is very well drawn, and all but one of the characters pictured is spot on to the god you had them representing. I think you did an excellent job overall. Love the robes.

Nalasan In reply to JosD [2008-03-23 00:27:37 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes, you're right. Maybe I should have picked her for Aphrodite... but I think in that case I would have been killed by some StarxRob Fans .

Hmm... but now that you mentioned it, jinx would fit perfectly in... maybe I'll draw her as Artemis or another goddess...^^

xD of course, couldn't leave BB out of the picture

UltimeciaFFB In reply to Nalasan [2008-03-23 00:49:25 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Beast Boy looked perfect as an owl
But as far I know about the legend, there was also Ceres and Artemis. I think that Terra, would be a perfect Ceres ( Agriculture...Earth...), and Jinx could be a better Hera (if you want a tip, Hera is often associate with a peacock, it could be a good idea for a dress design) and as a Artemis, I got three ideas: if you want a serious entry, Wonder Girl ( [link] ) or Kole. If you want to joke around... Pantha ( [link] )

Pretty good idea, btw

Nalasan In reply to UltimeciaFFB [2008-03-23 01:21:36 +0000 UTC]

o.O okay, I've never heard about that version of the story... and everything I read when I did some research was the common story with Hera, Athena and Artemis only.

But you never stop learning
Yeah, I knew about the peacock thing... but I don't think that peacock feathers match with the classic design of ancient greek fashion... and I don't know if I'm able to draw it^^Β°

You're right, Terra would make the perfect Demeter... but I don't know about Jinx and Hera. I think she would more fit with Artemis.

Thanky for the advice anyway!

Oh Sweetie, that's a wonderful drawning, I just love it

It's so beautiful drawn and it's fitting the characters perfectly.

And in my opinion Robin won't choose the Bar- eh... don't matter. You certainly know it and I'm sorry you have to see the evil scene. Such things should be forbidden >-<

evil evil evil scene!!!!!

It was really disgusting... and I mean, it's not like there are just five minutes at the end of the movie, nooooo... the whole movie is full of evil Starfire and Robin scenes
But I think I'll get over it in the usual way....
Movie just doesn't exist!! ^_____^

But thank you, I'm glad you like it!!! And yesss... I mean, we're talking about Robin here... he would most definitely choose wisdom and strength in battle over anything else (besides, in my personal universe - meiner kleinen rosa seifenblase - he would choose Raven for many more reasons ) kay, I'll stop now!

*luv ya* hope everything's okay? happy easter by the way!!!! ^^
