In Athens, Meyoko found herself at a friend's house. While browsing through his library, She stumbled upon a book about fashion. In it, She rediscovered Petrus Christus 'A Young Lady' which sparked the idea for her drawing.

Tisiphone, featured in the drawing, is one of the Erinyes or Furies in Greek mythology. Known for punishing crimes such as murder, Tisiphone, along with her sisters Alecto and Megaera, embodies the relentless pursuit of justice. Legend has it that Tisiphone's role extended beyond her duties as an avenger, as she fell in love with Cithaeron. However, their love story ended tragically when Tisiphone's affection led to Cithaeron's demise by snakebite.

This depiction of Tisiphone encapsulates the artist's fascination with the intertwining themes of beauty, passion, and retribution found within mythological narratives.
