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.
@DF_Media I love him too, he is the one who ensnared me with his vines and got me back into mythology 🥰
The party sounds like the Bacchic Lord chose to possess you that evening 🍷

For one, ancient Greek art usally depicts the penis to show you that a figure is male. This is especially important for gender-fluid gods like Dionysos. But you also find it in theatre: a male character has a leather phallus.
There are depictions of fully naked women, most promintently the goddess Aphrodite but mortal women as well.
Overall, there were more places where it was acceptable for men to be naked, like the palaistra.
