Cressida & Greek Mythology

So like I've noticed this when watching the show, but Cressida seems to be very closely associated with Greek Mythology. I've seen some people discuss it, but I don't see it discussed enough. Here are a few instances that I've found. Feel free to mention more if I missed any.

1. Let's begin with Cressida mentioning the story of Eros and Psyche to describe Polin's relationship. The story goes with Eros falling in love with Psyche when his original goal was to match her up with an ugly creature by order of his mother, Aphrodite. She referenced this because Colin and Penelope are in the same situation.

2) The scene with Lord Greer, with the pomegranates clearly being emphasized. My guess is that it's a reference to the goddess Persephone and the god Hades, and how he forced her to be with him against her will, dragging her to the underworld and trapping her there with pomegranate seeds. It shows that Cressida was being forced into a marriage against her will.

3) Finally, her name. Cressida. There is a Shakespeare play in 1602 called Troilus and Cressida. It took place in a Greek Mythology setting at Troy in the Trojan war. The story goes as Trolius and Cressida fall in love, but Cressida gets traded to a Greek camp because of her father and is forced to see another man. I'm not really sure if this is too much of a stretch, but there are parallels in both Shakespeare Cressida and Bridgeton Cressida. They both did what they did out of desperation. Not to mention the daddy issues btw.

Still haunted by sad Cressida & Eloise edit. Still haunted by the tragic storyline that is hers in S3 and her being a lesbian dealing with comphet. So here’s a bit of visual angst to do with that.

Modern AU Eloise would have so much golden retriever energy and she’d attract every sapphic within 50 miles of her. And she knows she has charm but wouldn’t much think about it unless she’s specifically wanting to use it so it all kind of just goes over her head and then she’s wondering why Cressida is seething next to her because every time they go anywhere there’s a flock of gay girls trying to pick Eloise up and she’s not even noticed because she’s too busy rambling about some special interest and just thinks everyone is being nice meanwhile Cressida is going to start biting people.
