Cassandra, a trojan princess, who could predict the future but was cursed so that no one would believe her. Which leads to troy's fall.
Clytemnestra was the wife of Agamemnon. While he was away at war, she took Aegisthus as her lover. When Agamemnon returned from Troy, she killed him to avenge the sacrifice of their daughter Iphigenia. Later, her son Orestes killed her in revenge.
I also have favorite romantic myths like:
Eros and psyche
Orpheus and Eurydice
Apollo and Hyacinthus
Achilles and Patroclus
Penelope and Odysseus

the absolute gawl of a woman to reply to this information with a link to a summary of the iliad. and to then claim she has read the whole of the iliad. this is like throwing out a three of spades to defeat a joker in the card game president. you win, yes, but at the extent of the dignity of your daughter. i recommend learning things about your mum, but to proceed with caution.

When I was seven, an 80s movie aired on TV, and I watched it until my mom turned it off at bedtime. I cried, wanting to see the rest, but she refused, and I eventually fell asleep. The next day, I couldn’t remember the movie’s name, so I never finished it—until today. It aired again, and the experience was surreal; I remembered every detail and finally saw the ending.

Tamino’s Amir is a stunning blend of Western music and Egyptian roots. His sound feels timeless ,ethereal vocals, poetic lyrics, and deep inspiration from religion, philosophy, and mythology. It’s haunting, beautiful, and incredibly moving. Definitely one of my top 5 artists, and Amir sits firmly in my top 10 albums of all time.
