Cassandra, a trojan princess, who could predict the future but was cursed so that no one would believe her. Which leads to troy's fall.
Clytemnestra was the wife of Agamemnon. While he was away at war, she took Aegisthus as her lover. When Agamemnon returned from Troy, she killed him to avenge the sacrifice of their daughter Iphigenia. Later, her son Orestes killed her in revenge.
I also have a favorite romantic myths like:
Eros and psyche
Orpheus and Eurydice
Apollo and Hyacinthus
Achilles and Patroclus
Penelope and Odysseus

the absolute gawl of a woman to reply to this information with a link to a summary of the iliad. and to then claim she has read the whole of the iliad. this is like throwing out a three of spades to defeat a joker in the card game president. you win, yes, but at the extent of the dignity of your daughter. i recommend learning things about your mum, but to proceed with caution.

And honestly it's one of the best advices I've ever received.
