Diogenes and Alexander by William Rainey

Hippodamia and Physcoa’s first meeting probably.

Physcoa: you’re blocking the sun go away

Hippodamia: I want to establish a women’s sports league and I need y-

Physcoa: ok I’m in.

How Dionysus felt when Physcoa joined the Sixteen Women to establish a sporting event in honor of Hera who might still be tormenting him at that point in time:

#Dionysus and Hera may have also buried the hatchet by that time #but it would be infinitely funnier if they didn’t #and Physcoa went out of her way to involve herself with her baby daddy’s wicked stepmother #greek mythology #ancient greek mythology #Physcoa #Dionysus

I think Physcoa is like… one of the only Olympian’s consorts who is a random person lol like we’re told that she’s from Elis and that’s it, nothing about her being a princess or a nymph she just caught Dionysus’s eyes just like that. That’s pretty interesting bc gods usually go after nymphs and royalty bc the ppl who write these stories are trying to make a cool mythological royal lineage.

I wonder how she was chosen as one of the sixteen women. What did Hippodamia see in her to include her? Ig she’d technically be a priestess of Dionysus so she’s included for the religious aspect.

Reading through Pausanias whole account on the Heraean Games and I’ve noticed a few things:

1. A new Diva has entered the villa! Physcoa seems pretty interesting, I imagine she’s a sort of Maenad with a wild personality to contrast Hippodamia’s more modest and reserved personality.

2. Honestly if you wanna make a retelling of the Heraean Games you can just replace Damophon with Oenomaus and it would still makes sense, after all he is a tyrant too and I doubt Neighboring kingdoms liked him killing a bunch of princes and kings.

3. I really like the idea of the Games serving a political purpose as well as a religious one, not only do the games honor Hera but they serve as diplomacy and brings Pisa and Elis together peacefully. It makes sense bc the Greeks saw religion and politics as one and the same. Which brings me to my next point.

4. Hippodamia being a literal queen. She works side by side with Pelops to gain alliances, power and influence over the Peloponnese. He handles the conquests she handles the politicking. I love them.
