If you're also not a Monday person, we believe we can help you get your mind off all the troubles and gloominess with a bit of magic and mysticism! Let us introduce you to Erinye, a talented artist that draws colorful images depicting mythological creatures and more!

Erinye, inspired by ancient cultures, has created a series of illustrations he called "Mytho doggos" and "Mytho mice" in which he portrayed mythological dogs, mice, and even a beaver and a squirrel from around the world. So, get yourself acquainted with these magical animals from Japanese, Hindu, Norse, Chinese, and other myths. Don't forget to upvote your favorite ones and share your thoughts in the comments!

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!

In lore, the white one warns you of danger, if he walks with you, be on high alert. If it stops, go back. The black one is a sign the coast is clear, if he walks with you it is to ease you. If he stops, continue your journey safely. There are many stories of these 2 during our civil war in El Salvador.
