#Fediverse, where do you usually buy steamy #eBooks?

Is it the 'Zon, is it another big retailer or do you #shopsmall?

What links are most useful for us authors to share with our audience here?

Boosts are very much appreciated ❤️

This week's #MythologyMonday theme is work.
Four deities spring to my mind when I think of work: #Demeter, #Hermes, #Hephaistos, and #Athena. #AncientGreece was an agricultural society with 80% of the population being involved in this line of work. In Greek mythology, it was Demeter who invented agriculture but according to Diodorus Siculus she burnt all the grain when her daughter #Persephone vanished out of grief and anger.

I wrote a short piece on safe #menstruation tracking apps, expanding on a few tweets I posted at the time #RoevWade was overturned. Incidents of testing women for abortion drugs in the UK prompted me to turn it into an article:

#Zeus, disguised as a #satyr, seduces Antiope, daughter of the river god Asopos or of Nykteus, the king of Thebes. Antiope fled in fear of her father and was abducted by the hero Epopeus, eventually giving birth to two sons, Amphion by Zeus and Zethus by Epopeus.

It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏

#Hermes as a UPS delivery man, a visual joke from the music video of Hermes' #DestripandoLaHistoria song by Spanish musicians and animators Pascu and Rodri. The song retells many of Hermes' myths like the theft of Apollo's cows, the slaying of Argos, and the birth of Orion.

#Ourania wrapped the woollen blanket around herself as she felt the chill of a breeze. The warm summer nights were coming to an end. She put down her last measurements, etching them into the wax tablet on her knees. She sat on a blanket atop the roof of Apollon's palace on the peaks of Mount Parnassos, a jug of watered wine and a plate of snacks beside her. But her gaze was turned towards the stars.

It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

This is one of my favourite depictions of #Dionysos in ancient art. My written version of him is largely based on this gold relief of drunken Dionysos and a panther, supported by a #satyr friend.

It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday! ⚡

This solid bronze statuette of the Roman god #Jupiter (associated with #Zeus) was probably part of the domestic furnishings of a Roman 'domus' or 'villa'. The highest deity in the Roman pantheon, he is the god of international relations and guarantees the observation of treaties.

🏛️ Bronze statuette, #ancientRome, 1st century CE. Today in the Museu d’Art Medieval, #Barcelona.
