I made a thing: Hera Cheat Sheet

This is just the first page of 11 pages, 6 of which are sources.

The document includes Hera’s epithets, Hera’s theophoric names, her major cult centres, her known festivals, a selection of rituals and offerings from the written and archaeological record.

It took me 34 work hours to research and put together and I am quite proud of the end result

If you want to read the whole thing and download the PDF, toss me $1 on Patreon to unlock.

Shout-out to @screeching-0wl who made a Hera cheat sheet for polytheists that is much more beautiful than mine and to @eireni who created the font I’m using for the headline above the row of pomegranates! It’s called Stoix and you can learn more about it here.

I’ve gotten a few asks requesting some research resources for writing characters who have Bipolar Disorder. I don’t have Bipolar, nor am I a mental health professional, but I have found some helpful resources from people who experience it in order to get you started.

Please let me know if you have any reading recommendations, and if you’d like to share your experiences! 

Also note: apologies I haven’t been able to answer asks the way I used to, as adult life and grad school keep me rigorously occupied. But I always appreciate the people who take the time to write to me!

Happy writing, everybody!
