something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.
it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.
and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.
on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.
edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.
Perseus, Daniel Ogden

hey just fyi write whatever the fuck you want because people will always have an issue regardless of whether you did every single thing possible that you thought was right and correct. no matter what, there will ALWAYS be someone who thinks you're doing something wrong and it's fucking exhausting. just write what you want and how you want and only warn for what you think you should warn for i'm so serious. it's gotten to a point now where you can list every single possible warning ever and someone will still get mad at you. it's actually insufferable to be in this fandom sometimes. who would've thought the pedro pascal fandom would be the most morally righteous & judgmental fandom to ever exist.
