you aware of Agamemnon/Cassandra ship? not in the story but people who think it is consensual
yeah, I am aware. to me it's a ship that exists. out of people who either really hate Clytemnestra or. I don't know reimagining it like a dark romance?
I do recall years ago stumbling upon art of that ship from a mythology artist I really liked, and it drove me up a wall trying to find the source as to why they really enjoyed it, but all the material I've read just didn't have any romantic element, the opposite of it really. Their relationship is transactional at best and downright slavery to the bones at worst. Even if you do spin it in different ways, It's not like Cassandra can give consent as a concubine war prize (you know to the guy who sacked her city and took her away from her family)?
#but ok to give some credence to one source they cite them having two kids together that were killed by aegisthus#so make what that what you will#but to me... why mess with toxic perfection (agacly)#also that artist apparently left tumblr now :( their art was great even if I don't agree#asks#agamemnon#cassandra of troy
