palamedes and his rabid dog of a brother <//3

i don't consider libya as part of morciamythos (← term i use for my overall interpretation of mythology and its events, etc.) but she's fun as a concept. maybe moreso if you're like me and hc that she looks like her papa palamedes

libya visits ithaca post-odyssey and odysseus is jumpscared by a lady with a striking similarity to his archenemy / victim back at troy and – oh, what's this? she's his daughter??? huh. odysseus is more surprised that her existence implies a woman liked palamedes enough for that. and so another ghost joins the fray in haunting him

on the other hand, the a la atreides of it all would be interesting. palamedes, oeax and nausimedon leave for war when she's a child and only her uncles come back home. and by then, her grandfather has already taken a long-winded revenge for palamedes' death, but his absence continues to be a presence, the outline of his corpse is still there. and it's not fun looking like a dead man because now the family is mourning palamedes by pretending he's still there through libya; nauplius / clymene spoil her and try to shape her into their son, oeax / nausimedon rely on her too much and think she can take on the duties their eldest brother did. sometimes a daughter is her own father
