Pspsps i got this for an ask blog and idk what it means help
"huh, orestes your not actually related to perseus... thats weird. something of a pretender dynasty huh..."
My friends guessed that it alluded to his trial?? Like as his relation to Perseus is through Clytemnestra and he kills Clytemnestra and in his trial it is argued the mother has no rights or actual relation related to the child in defense of Orestes committing Matricide against Clytemnestra,(lmao that trial was wild) but im just checking
maybe its going for the version where tyndarus is the son of diomede or bateia and not gorgophone. I mean, either way, Agamemnon and Menelaus are their fathers, and their uncles are like, actually just invaders holding the throne. it's interesting that people forget that Agamemnon's dad and uncle are just some fucking crazy lunatics who took over Mycenae, and Clytemnestra has more of a claim to the throne. But that's only in some versions where she's the granddaughter of Gorgaphone. Admittedly, the lineage could alternatively use Diomede or Bateia. The entire dynasty not being related to perseus would be wild lol. it would explain why the whole Heracleidae exist and war with Mycenae. Like the kids of Hercules are literally building an army to take over Mycenae while all the drama is happening lmao. And Orestes would be part of a false dynasty BUT
i like gorgophone.
I like Clytemnestra and Penelope having black grandma and dad lmao literally me fr. gramdma gorgophone rolls of the tongue.
also something something paralleling perseus saving his mother and Orestes killing his mother.
