Description: Cleaned up image of the Battle image. Nemesis is/was a Titan, the Titans ruled from Mt Othrys. The war between the TItans and the Olympian Gods was a war between Mt Othrys and Mt Olympus. Nemesis, Nike, and their siblings (as well as Nyx and Styx and some others) sided against their fellow Titans. I felt that the last battle of Nemesis would be on Mt Othrys, nice and poetic. I won't go into the details of the battle since its very spoiler centered and I'm already very tempted to just tell you. Here's a note though, Nemesis was often depicted as carrying a whip, which is why she has one in this picture. She's naked because...well, if you look, 99% of my depictions of Nemesis involve her with no clothes on. The Greeks viewed the human body as beautiful and I feel that I should follow that when depicting the Gods and Goddesses. Its not pronographic, I give no details, I just feel that a god wouldn't really need to worry about clothing oneself, especially since this was back in the times when the Olympic competitors also battled naked.
