Lili needs inspiration (and a new layout)

[delta_mai]

So I'm doing 5 poems (of 300 words) from the POV of women from Greek myth.  They're going to be talking from the afterlife, brought together by either Artemis or Athene.  So here's my question - which are your favourite female Greek characters (preferably those used by men) that you would like to read a poem about?

And my other request -

Ha, I was talking about this with my boyfriend last night. Medea, and Ariadne, are the strongest used-and-dumped-by-men ones I can think of. I also thoroughly approve of Clytemnestra murdering Agamemnon because he sacrificed their daughter.

There's also Persephone, but being a goddess herself I'm not sure if she'd count.

Lol these are all on the list! :D Apart from Clytemnestra, because isn't she just in a play, not a myth?

(oh, this is my RP journal btw. Sometimes I'm lazy and reply with this instead)

No, I'm pretty sure she's part of the general mythology of Agamemnon and the Trojan War and so on - although I'm not sure how we can separate myth from Greek literature. She's mentioned in Homer, but I think she has a smaller role there than in later play/s.

Cassandra could fit your requirements too. Oh, and Philomela, if you want to go into the deeply horrible.

[faith_of_heart]

Nah, she has to be in myth, not literature. Who was Philomela?

Antigone? Girl is badass.

I also thought of Antigone...*nods*

Lol, IDK Greek mythology that well actually, besides the goddesses....though I do like Odesseus's wife, Penelope was it? She was one tough cookie, gotta love that...and I think it'd be interesting to see Helen of Troy's perspective, since she is usually so hated on by history. Though also there's Hermione, the daughter of Helen of Troy, who I can see as being really bitter about what her mother did--the only child of the two, caught in something like that....

And lol, I only recently changed to this layout because I didn't know any other way to customize, sorry--I don't know much about coding and such!

Penelope is going on the list :) Ugh Odesseus is such a douche.

The story of Medea always stuck out for me.
