Lithophila 291 December 29, 2015 Share December 29, 2015 Do you think it would look like this. I kinda like some of the idea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Pathfinder 16,165 December 29, 2015 Share December 29, 2015 That would be pretty awesome, though while I know the canon-status of the comics is often debated issue #3 of FIENDship is Magic, featuring the Sirens, shows Equestria in the look of ancient Greece/Rome. Twas a nice rendition from what I remember. 1 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,965 December 29, 2015 Share December 29, 2015 Could have actually been pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporemane 546 December 29, 2015 Share December 29, 2015 All I can imagine is Oedipus Rex with ponies that's a scary thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny1226 14,674 December 29, 2015 Share December 29, 2015 I like the idea too it's awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr F 1,522 December 29, 2015 Share December 29, 2015 I love this idea, but it could get a bit too action packed for its targeted audience. You know, Rome was not exactly a peaceful empire. Ponies dressed in togas getting drunk would be pretty amazing though. (Really cool signature) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidral Mundet 1,666 December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 I think MLP has had a ton of Greco-roman influences in it. I mean look at Cloudsdale alone. Also a TON of the mythology and creatures used are based on those old influences. I mean they don't use the fashion, but that's only because ponies can not handle the awesome power of the toga! 1 Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

cider float 2,539 December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 I like the old German village style of Ponyville more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,817 December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 Actually MLP has a lot of Greco-Roman influences even if it they aren't quite as blatant as what is shown in the pictures in the OP. Cloudsdale is a good example a previous user gave, there are also various mythological monsters such as the cerberus and hydra, it is implied that they have a sort of hell called Tartarus which is a reference to Tartarus in Greek mythology which is considered the worst part of Hades. 1 Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting aside the constant invoking of greek mythology in it's creatures Cloudsdale has a ton of greek themes. Heck. The founder Commander Hurricane even dressed as a Spartan. Plus there's plenty to support Cloudsdale were primarily Equestrias military during its founding. How they are organized, disciplined, combined with the dress and greek archetexture makes me believe this is no coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
