It's interesting how you drew her using a more modern canon of beauty, when I think of beautiful female characters from ancient mythology, I always imagine them being in the canon of the time, broader hips, more fat generally, belly and thighs, full face and dark hair. I don't mean that to criticize you, I think the canon you picked places your work and the topic in our modern context, it's nice.

Thank you for this. To be perfectly honest, I did not think of this while picking a reference. I’m trying to do one myth a week during October, so I think I’ll try exploring more forms of beauty as I go along. I appreciate what you said :)
