Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Shock of Leucippus.png |
English: Contemporary (2023) illustration of Leucippus of Crete, a minor Greek mythological figure who underwent a magical gender transformation from female to male. He was transformed by the goddess Leto, mother of Artemis and Apollo.
This artwork was created in March 2023 using pen-and-paper then digitizing in Photoshop. It depicts Leucippus disrobing his peplos (a maidenly garment) to reveal his newly male form. The moment of his disrobing became, in his hometown of Phaestos, a holiday known as Eukdysia/Ecdysia wherein flocks of adolescent boys would disrobe as a rite of passage into adulthood and to show that they were now part of the agela youth corps. It also became a tradition in Phaestus to lie beside an image of Leucippus before wedding. |
