Medea did indeed kill her children she bore Jason before riding off into the heavens in a chariot drawn by dragons

Oh, a dragon-drawn chariot could be nice. Would definitely get me through Broadway faster during rush hour!

C - thank goodness I was correct about that.

Did not Oedipus sleep with this mother? Also, in protest of war were phalic symbols worn?

Yes, you're here! Just in time!

Any women who sacrificed men? We're trying to figure out if there is a tragedy that corresponds to the concept that I, Shira, would eat 19 year old prospective suitors for breakfast or lunch.

Don't forget the Herms of Attica. These statues of Hermes, with a pronounced phallis, were markers of sanctuaries to the god. They were mutilated in several instances, most famously in 415 BC. Yes, a certain part was knocked off each one.

Women rarely had agency in Greek Tragedy. The ones who did were usually set as cautionary tales. I'm trying to think of women who sacrificed men. Hmm. Clytemnestra killed Agamemnon. But, that is closer to justifiable homicide.

Then there are gods and monsters who could do nasty things to dudes. Medusa and other Gorgons come to mind. Hang on, I look up a few things.

are these Hermes of Attica similar to priapii?

Do not forget the Sphinx and Theseus...

Methinks my life is a Greek Tragedy...

But, I love the stories of the Sirens.

Priapus, of course was a Roman god. But, he was related to fishermen. His phallus was a symbol of the god's efficacy. The herms were a symbol of Hermes and proof of the communication between this god and the polis. It was definitely a symbol of the power of Attica.

I am so unhappy, you all have no idea. Well, you probably have some idea but then multiply that times a million and that's me right now.
