About the Item

'Melancholy' is a painting inspired by the friendship between goddesses Athena and Hestia. In Greek mythology, Athena and Hestia were both important goddesses with distinct domains and characteristics. While there isn't a prominent mythological narrative highlighting a friendship between Athena and Hestia, their roles and attributes can provide some insights into how they might relate to each other. Athena is the goddess of wisdom, courage, and strategic warfare. She is often depicted as a wise, skilled deity who values intellect and strategic thinking. Hestia, on the other hand, is the goddess of the hearth, home, and family. She represents the sacred fire that was central to ancient Greek households, symbolizing warmth, security, and unity.
