hesione actual story with cetus is so whack
ngl realistically hesione is whack, like how the events actually play out with the trojan cetus is whack, like the second most in depth version shes not even a bride prize lmao
"Herakles (Heracles) they say, did slay the Ketos and Hesione given the choice either to leave her home with her saviour or to remain in her native land with her parents. The girl, then chose to spend her life with the stranger, not merely because she preferred the benefaction that she had received to the ties of kinship, but also because she feared that a Ketos might again appear and she be exposed by the citizens to the same fate as that from which she had just escaped.”-Diodorus Siculus,
but this isnt even the weirdest part, " The Argonauts being on their way to Colchis, and killed the Cetus." -Hyginus SO SHE'S WITH THE ARGONAUTS??? Atalanta being just one of like 5 women with the Argonauts lmao other sources also use the Argonauts.
wow im sure it wont get weirder " this doth horned Ammon [i.e. the oracle of Ammon ] command--that a maiden's life and her body that drew death's lot to be doomed;" -Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica THIS MF ORACLE AGAIN BRO KEEPS TRYING TO SACRAFISE YOUNG GIRLS TO SEA MONSTERS LMAO how does he have a track record 😭
dawg, they dont even sack Troy in this. There is a hint that Heracles might return, and that's when the drama starts. either way its all so weird
