i hate when i hear about the "forgotten woman of greek mythology" and then its fucking penelelope or clytemestra. Like what about Himera? Memnon's sister, who travels the seas to recover her brother's bones? Who is given a choice between the great wealth and the bones of her beloved brother? And facing down an entire army, chooses her brother's bones out of love? Then literally disappears into thin air (that part's a bit weird, I guess her mom just picked her up) That's just an interesting female character that seems to be obscure off the top of my head Penelope is not a forgotten woman in Greek mythology.
