this is possibly one of my favorite pieces of medieval art for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to:
- the fact that this depicts the conception of alexander the great (yes, that alexander the great)
- the fact that in the story this comes from (one of the alexander romances) alexander’s dad is actually a dude disguised as a dragon
- olympias getting her netflix and chill on with a fucking dragon
- the dragon’s gentle embrace
- the fact that the dragon and olympias are both all snuggled up under the covers
- olympias’s Perfectly Perky Teeny Tiny Titties™
- the fact that olympias apparently wears her crown while getting it on
- the guy looking in on this whole scene, who is philip II of macedon btw
- philip II of macedon making eye contact with the guy cucking him, who, as i mentioned earlier, IS A FUCKING DRAGON
