The rage and betrayal I feel when someone compares me to my father in even the smallest aspect isn't normal

something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.
it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.
and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.
on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.
edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.

I just don’t want to feel anything anymore. I’m tired, drained, exhausted. Just let me die already.

Raise your hand if you were as a child constantly told to "not tell mom" by your dad and "not tell dad" by your mom so now you 1) are extremely good at keeping secrets 2) have no close relationship to anybody cuz you were always keeping a secret from them 3) realize that your parents were really fucked up

"You are so mature for your age." Well, at least one of us had to act mature in this shithole excuse of a family.
