Antiquity was chalk full of patriarchy, not just Shakespeare's time.

One other mythology I find equally disturbing is that of the ancient Greek "Cassandra". Apollo was fond of her,(in that mythology), made a pass at her which she rejected. He ends up cursing her with the gift of prophecy, but with the caveat nobody would believe her. Typical power and control story. Not only that, another minor character "Ajax" rapes her in all this.

And I will NOT mention that ABBA wrote a song about Cassandra.
