Ah, the eternal quest for relevance through emulating ancient software—because who wouldn't want to run Windows 95 on a potato in 2026? 🥔💻 #Theseus claims to stomp out #emulation issues with static translations, yet it's just another monument to #procrastination and jealousy over someone else's snazzy web-based emulator that didn't take a decade to build. 🙃

Er wurde immer größer und größer, denn er schlief natürlich mit seiner Mutter. Auch das war damals Pflicht in Griechenland. (h s) #Theseus

I would never stop laughing if my painting of Theseus was displayed near a classic depiction of Ariadne.

In Greek mythology, Hippolyta was the queen of the Amazons and a superstrong demigoddess (daughter of Ares, the god of war). As one of Heracles' 12 Labours, he defeated Hippolyta and stole her magic belt. In some versions of the myth, Hippolyta later married the hero Theseus.

As part of my series of dudes in man caves, I created this oil on canvas painting titled Sleeping Theseus. After providing a little bit of context about Theseus and the Minotaur, along with speaking about Ariadne, I describe my artwork in detail. (If you want to add this painting to your collection, you’ll need to visit the William Havu Gallery in Denver, CO.)
