    CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

    Sources: Prisoner of History: Aspasia of Miletus and her Biographical Tradition by Madeleine Mary Henry; "Wise and Devoted or Shrewd and Shameless? The True Face of Aspasia of Miletus" by Agata Ciempiel from Scripta Classica.
