## Prompt

```text
Theme:
High-fashion dark mythological editorial inspired by Hellenistic antiquity and the legend of Medusa.

Subject:
A 20-year-old woman of Classical Greek-Mediterranean descent, portrayed as a temple priestess. She is reclined upon a sunken black marble altar, accompanied by a sleek, golden-scaled temple viper that glides across her shoulder and waist.

Person · Expression:
Sharp Hellenistic facial features with high cheekbones and a straight Greek nose. Her eyes are a smoky golden-amber with an intense, steady gaze. Her lips are slightly parted in a calm exhale. Her long, thick glossy black hair is intertwined with delicate gold chains and small serpents, with damp strands resting against her oiled skin.

Clothing · Pose:
She wears a minimalist harness crafted from fine liquid gold chainmail paired with a sheer, translucent onyx silk wrap. The fabric is draped to follow her form, yielding to gravity as she performs a deep back-arch across the basalt altar. One arm is stretched overhead gripping a golden altar prop, while the other rests near her hip.

Background · Light:
An ancient seaside temple carved from black basalt rock at midnight. The environment is lit by a high-contrast chiaroscuro setup: intense flickering orange light from bronze fire braziers creates highlights on the oiled skin and gold metal, while cool silvery moonlight provides a sharp rim light. Aromatic myrrh smoke and sea mist drift through the background columns.

Composition · Camera:
Low-angle medium shot that emphasizes the subject's stature. The framing is a horizontal 16:9 composition with the subject dominating the central diagonal axis. Shot with an 85mm lens at f/1.4 to create a shallow depth of field, keeping the subject in sharp focus while the temple architecture fades into a creamy, amber-hued bokeh.

Texture · Style:
Hyper-photorealistic digital photography with a cinematic editorial grade. Features highly detailed skin textures including visible pores and a specular oil sheen. The style incorporates subtle film grain, soft sensor bloom on highlights, and the tactile contrast between cold black stone, warm fire, and metallic gold.
