female hal and male hotspur: something something girls always being compared unfavorably to boys….. girls/daughters always considered inferior to boys/sons….. it would also transform henry iv’s disappointment in hal into disappointment in having a eldest daughter at all instead of an eldest son… would also add such a different cast to the idea of hal’s independence and the fact that she never behaves ‘properly’ i.e. like everyones preconceptions of a Girl™

"When Aphrodite learned of the prophecy that the descendants of Anchises would rule the Trojans after the reign of Priam’s family was brought to an end, she slept with Anchises even though he was past his prime. She gave birth to Aineias. Wanting to create a pretext to bring an end to Priam’s family, she inspired in Paris a desire for Helen. And after he carried Helen away, Aphrodite only appeared to fight on the side of the Trojans (in reality she was encouraging their defeat) so that they would not give up hope completely and give Helen back. The story is in Acusilaus" -D Scholia to the Iliad
