In a Wine-Dark Dream

Do you like Greek Mythology retellings but tired of constant stereotypical portrayals of the Gods? Annoyed that Ares is always the villain? Exhausted to see Demeter as a helicopter mother, vain Aphrodite, unattractive Hephaestos, and not to mention the media’s favorite opinion about Zeus? Want to see more of Hestia, or, maybe even the Titans? 

Then “In a Wine-Dark Dream” is a comic for you!

It covers the stories of all major Gods with a focus on Dionysus and his ultimate journey from the underdog to the Olympian.

I based this story not only on the mythology, which is too broad of a term anyway, but also on some archeological finds, religious views from Hellenistic Polytheism, and my personal understanding of the Gods.

This story is mostly my love letter to Dionysus, who appeared in my life when I needed him most. The least I can do is to write a story about him that doesn’t make me, as a Hellenistic polytheist, cringe.
