The name Melinoë means "Dark Thought" and despite the meaning she does not carry darkness in its entirety.
It is said that the god of Olympus impersonated his brother Hades in order to seduce Persephone in the river Styx, giving birth to this goddess.

Being Persephone the queen of the underworld and Zeus the brilliant leader of Olympus, Melinoë obtained the main qualities of both, thus carrying the light of her father and the darkness of her mother, being half light and half darkness.

However, other older traditions give paternity to Persephone's husband, the god Hades, Melinoë being the second daughter of the kings of the underworld after Macaria. For this reason it was considered that darkness meant Hades, and Persephone light

Melinoë is the Greek goddess of nightmares and the Lady of the Ghosts.
Wander the Earth every night with ghosts, scaring everyone in their path. It was said that this was the reason why dogs apparently barked at anything at night.

She was raised in the underworld, learning to lead the ghosts that would accompany her at night when she was in the outside world, it was so until she was chosen as a pupil by the goddess Hecate and it was with her who she learned about the moon and witchcraft discovering in the latter a passion and constant interest, in addition to earning a good relationship with Hecate. Completed his training with the ghost queen, Melinoe returned to the underworld with his family.

For centuries it has been responsible for tormenting mortals with the memories of their past, giving voice to those who left the earth but left matters to be treated, that was their task at least until it was plunged into a deep sleep without to be able to do nothing to prevent it ...

Great picture!


I was wondering if I can propose you something. Actually I'm working as developer in a little indie group in an Android game called "Kingdoms of Myth", it's turn based strategy game based on a fantasy World. You can find a little bit more info in our facebook page www.facebook.com/kingdomsofmyt… ). We have liked your art and we would like to ask you if you want to collaborate with us making one fantasy picture. The theme of the picture would be very opened, so you are not going to be forced to draw nothing that you do not want to. Of course you will have full credits of your work and link to your webpage if you want . What do you think?


Lot of thanks for your time
