Tragedy Socks
Description: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
Description: A dramatic reinterpretation of Orestes Pursued by the Furies, inspired by the mythological artwork of John Singer Sargent. Haunted by the consequences of his actions, Orestes flees the relentless Furies, ancient Greek spirits of vengeance. Surrounded by threatening figures, serpents and swirling drapery, he struggles to escape his supernatural tormentors. Rendered in a striking linocut and woodcut style, this design combines powerful silhouettes, expressive carved hatching and a vivid palette of vermilion, ivory and blue.

Description: D. H. LAWRENCE quote: Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
Description: The legendary Helen of Troy gazes over the ancient city walls at sunset, silver-white hair in a high ponytail, adorned in rich gold and deep red robes. A glamorous, comic-style portrait of the woman who launched a thousand ships. Perfect for fans of classical mythology, historical beauty, and elegant fantasy art. Looks stunning on t-shirts, phone cases, posters and more.
