My Fierce Aunties

Monday, October 8th, 2018 -- by Bacchus

(He was constantly at risk of being murdered by a jealous Hera, who was wife to his father Zeus, but who was emphatically not his mother.) This notion (if not much else in the various myths) seems to have inspired Paul Alexandre Alfred Le Roy when he painted Les Filles d’Atlas (Atlas’ Daughters):

May all your aunties be as fierce and protective as mine!
