Deusa guerreira em monte da estepe tempestuosa com espada brilhante

Verbal portrait of Parthena: Pose and Energy: Parthena stands on top of an ancient Scythian mound, in the middle of an endless feather-bed steppe. Her pose conveys absolute confidence and wild dignity. The wind ruffles her hair and clothes, emphasizing movement and freedom. Face: She has a stern but noble face. Her eyes shine with cold fire, as if the reflections of distant lightning have frozen in them. This is the face of a goddess who knows no fear. Clothing and Weapons: She is dressed in a combination of a Greek chiton and a Scythian outfit: a thin fabric, over which the skin of a wild beast is thrown. Helmet: On her head she has an antique helmet decorated with stylized wings that caress the stars. Shield: In her left hand she holds a round shield made of intertwined, rough branches of an ancient oak and covered with taurus skin. This is her “shield-forest”. Sword: In her right hand she clutches a short Scythian sword (akinak), the blade of which glows with a bright blue light, as if forged from lightning itself. Animals around: At her feet, recognizing her authority, stand powerful wild tauri (bulls) with huge horns. They raised their heads, listening to her breathing. A little further away, the silhouettes of noble deer and a herd of wild horses galloping in a pasture, symbolizing freedom, are visible. Atmosphere and Light: The sky behind her is tragic, stormy. Heavy clouds are torn apart by flashes of lightning that illuminate the figure of the goddess. This is the moment when “thunder and storm descend upon the earth.” The stars are barely visible through the gaps in the clouds.
