The thing I just realized while being in this fandom is that not that many people talk about Hecuba killing her own grandchildren the same as people speak about Odysseus killing other kids.

I don’t care if it was “for revenge.” Consider that Polymester’s kids were also Iliona’s, and Helen’s with Paris

It’s weird to look at Odysseus situation and go: What a bad person! He got what was coming to him.

And then look at Hecuba’s and go: What a girlboss! She did nothing wrong.

Like…what…??

I’ll never forgive Epic and its fandom for making Astyanax’s death about Odysseus and how it made him sad when it was about Hecuba and Andromache going through further pain and suffering due to the Achaeans cruelty.
