I’m so fucking mad that there were multiple plays (both Greek and Roman) about Andromeda that expand on her character and her relationship with Perseus and her parents but they’re all lost or fragmented and now ppl can’t view Andromeda as anything more than a damsel in distress with no agency bc they wouldn’t bother to read between the lines with the sources we do have and do their research about her.
