CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Sources: Iphigenia Among the Taurians, translated by Anne Carson; and another edition by George Theodoridis. Herodotus' Histories.
