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

#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.

A flaccid #satyr, what an unusual sight! Tasteful sophrosyne is not usually their style 😄

Close-up of the statue's penis, shaped like the ideal ancient Greek phallus: flaccid and small with a long, tapered foreskin.

Baby #Dionysos sitting on the lap of his big brother #Hermes is given to the #satyr Tropheus and the nymphs of Nysa. Also in the scene are Anatrophe (“upbringing”), as well as Ambrosia and Nektar (food and drink of the gods).

Same picture, but now I digitally colorized the drawing. His hair ir brown, and his skin is brunette. The background is palid green. The digital ink strokes are purposely messy.
