As Erinye shared on his Instagram, he posts a lot about mythology, DnD and chickens. However, this article is focused on the mythological part, which we think is the most fascinating one.

Mythology has always appeared in modern works of art in a slightly different form while keeping a recognizable base. A lot of artists use it as a source of inspiration because, to put it simply, it's like an old jacket, you can always rediscover something new in its pockets.

Erinye told us that he started off with dogs because it was the year of the dog, and he planned to do one each year according to the zodiac, but the artist admitted that he got tired right away after mice. Luckily, we get to see what ancient dogs and mice look like in the eyes of Erinye!
