Like The Secret History but with more Shakespeare and less incest. And I think more gay but I never finished The Secret History so I can't swear to that.

It's funny how Polyboea wasn't 100% confirmed to have become a virgin huntress of Artemis but still had tangible relationships with Artemis' other huntresses or companions.

Her maternal great-grandmother Taygete was one of the Pleiades who were close to Artemis.

Her sister Laodamia married Arcas, the son of Callisto.

Her great-grandniece Phylonoe was included in Artemis' retinue.

mythology aesthetics → the pleiades

the pleiades, companions of artemis, were the seven daughters of the titan atlas and the sea-nymph pleione born on mount cyllene. they were the sisters of calypso, hyas, the hyades, and the hesperides. they were thought to have been translated to the night sky as a cluster of stars, the pleiades, and were associated with rain.

Phosa was already hanging around the cabin, had already talked to her renny a few times, so the baby is going to approach and try to gesture for Phosa to go inside and talk to Hax. Make her renny less sad please.

“Oh — hello.” Phosa hasn’t spoken to or interacted with Taygete much, yet; is still adjusting to the idea of Hax being a parent, in all honesty. But she can sympathize with the poor kid’s anxiety about the current situation, and it’s clear how much Hax loves her.

She frowns at the gesturing. “Is something wrong?” Actively wrong, that is. She pats the baby’s head and slides to her feet. “I’ll check. But things might just be sad for a while, okay? If it’s that, I can’t fix it. Do you want to come with?”
