Given the way those dogs were spoiled with their food, I just assumed Alcmene was too much of a foodie to go near something like Fritz' corpse unless she was truly starving. :)
Well, now that I've seen the descriptions of the various roasts, the cakes, the buttery rolls, and the milk, I think you've got it, by Jove! :P
I like the idea of Alcmene as a foodie. :D Her modern AU counterpart can have an Instagram feed where she posts pictures of her food.
I'm not up to hit right now, but I do recall there are some gruesome stories about gnawed at royal corpses where no one was around keeping watch...
Ooh. Well, when you are, you know we want to hear them! I know of stories from modern news articles (and of course scavenging dogs on battlefields--they're in the first few lines of the Iliad for a reason!), but am not thinking of European royal examples off the top of my head.
