Three winged gods drift across the sea, suspended in motion, neither landing nor departing. They are the Erotes—ancient spirits of desire, affection, and divine seduction, often depicted in threes. Here, they hover with a curious stillness, facing one another, neither fully human nor fully divine, suspended between sea and sky. Their intimacy feels strange and ritualistic, like a dance without music.

Black-figure silhouettes drawn in crisp linework across a rich seafoam-green backdrop—It's the color of desire rising from the depths.. The visual style evokes Attic vase painting and classical urns, but rendered with graphic minimalism for modern myth-lovers. The amphora motif on the toes draws the whole composition together, suggesting not just history, but ritual—like these gods were preserved in ink, and now wear you. The mirroring of figures and the amphora motif on the toes suggests a looping, eternal scene—a myth fragment stuck on repeat. It’s not narrative; it’s emotional.

The result is restrained yet hypnotic, a wearable fresco of Greco-Roman mythology, desire, and otherworldly elegance. A sacred fragment of forgotten love.

Wonders Whispered About These Wares

Powers Bestowed Upon the Possessor

The Breath Between Tides: The ability to exist gracefully in suspended moments—hovering between action and stillness, love and longing.

Ink of the Erotes: Words written, spoken, or thought while wearing these shoes may carry hidden enchantments, especially in matters of affection and persuasion.

The Winged Path: The knack for navigating unseen pathways between worlds, slipping through thresholds with the lightness of myth.

Jaded Lament Discovery Note

The Laments retrieved this design from a shattered tile near the drowned garden of a coastal temple. Each tile showed a different moment in the Erotes’ flight—but this was the only one left intact. The inscription at the edge read: They never touched the water.

Hymns to Strengthen Thy Enchanted Relic

Lend Thine Ear, Fortify Thy Powers. Invoke these chants whilst donning thy wares, that the enchantment might seep deeper into thy bones.

(1) "The Louvre" – Lorde
Smoldering, hypnotic, slow-burn pop—a gaze held too long under a mythic sun.

(2) "Movement" – Hozier
Worshipful, elemental, bodies drawn together and torn apart in sacred choreography.

(3) "Love Like Ghosts" – Lord Huron
A dreamy drift through lost devotion, haunting and half-remembered like a seaborne myth.

(4) "Ascent" – Ólafur Arnalds
Ethereal strings and glimmers of light—perfect for gods who never touch the water.

(5) "Sea Song" – Lisa Hannigan
Salt-soaked, yearning, a voice that seems to rise straight out of the seafoam.

This mix captures suspended passion, celestial elegance, drifting myth, and oceanic longing.
