Re: Penthesilea by Kassios |
...such a name makes sense, metaphorically speaking, for a Amazon queen who "meant business" in the battlefield.
A more diachronic pseudo-etymology of Penthesilea could be: "penthera" (mother-in-law) and "eilo" (grip), i.e., "caught in the clutches of one's mother-in-law" :P
