Re: Legacies

Phenthesileia: in a direct reverse to the Greek myth, Phentesieia the Amazon Queen killes Achilles (though she did fall in love with him. Then she starts to eat him with her dogs, I kid you not. "Küsse, Bisse, das reimt sich."

On one hand, I like the reversal! On the other hand... my takeaway is that Kleist might, uh, need some help. Which is also how I feel about the synopsis of Prinz Friedrich von Homburg, to be honest! Wow. Although it also sounds totally fascinating and some of it is sort of disturbingly resonant with me.
