A Mythsummer Night's Dream

Description

Medium: Ink on paper
I drew this for a trade with :iconapplesaucemoss:. The theme of the trade was Shakespeare mixed with Greek mythology. She asked for something inspired by "A Midsummer Night's Dream." She assigned certain gods to play certain roles:

Zeus as Egeus
Hera as Titania
Hades as Oberon
Aphrodite as Hermia
Apollo as Lysander
Artemis as Demetrius
Persephone as Helenia
Hermes as Puck

I felt that Puck's line "Lord, what fools these mortals be!" was perfect for Hermes, so I saw the busts of the gods with their names in the original Greek, with thought balloons above their heads with quotes from the characters.

Oh my gods, A Midsummer Night's Dream has to be my favorite Shakespeare play ever. And using the Greek Pantheon excellent choice.
