The scene from Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring has become a geeky way to work in a joke.
Instagram artist Jordan Holt has an alternative, shorter version.
There are a few ways to get more of Jordan’s art and support the artist. you can buy Theseus in hardcover.
Theseus is a well-known figure in mythology for defeating bandits, killing the minotaur, and ruling over Athens. While the story itself is a fable, there is likely a true story that undergirds the legend. This is most definitely not it.
This is a satirical retelling of Theseus’ first four adventures along his path to Athens. And rather than powerful hero from the myth, Theseus is neither very strong nor particularly smart, and is simply swept up in a tide of accidental fortunes as well as the schemes and mischief of a host of bored gods.
Or, my favourite, you can shop around for prints at Jordan Holt’s Etsy.
I do like this Life As a Hylian Potter. We all know what’s about to happen here!
