MAY and MAIA
I've always thought it strange there are so few depictions of Hermes' mother MAIA
The one below is part of a painting on a vase dated to about 500 BCE
I love the way the position of her hands suggest she's having a lively discussion and you can just make out in this closeup traces of a hair ribbon binding up her undeniablely thick wavy less than perfectly orderly maybe even frizzly hair also suggesting a busy mum!
