#anaxibia

This is only people who are in this family, not married in so I’m sorry but no Helen, Clytemnestra, Strophius, etc.

Anaxibia bleeding out in the birthing bed, longing for her brothers who are so far away from her right now. Her brothers, who have not the slightest idea that they have lost their sister.

And then Agamemnon returns, heart still heavy from the argument he had with Menelaus before their departure from Troy, only to hear that Anaxibia, his little Anaxibia, the one who used to hide behind his legs when she was frightened of their father, knowing and always trusting that he'd be there to protect her - had been with child, had died.

First Iphigenia, and now Anaxibia - his girls who loved him so dearly, who trusted him to protect them, both of whom Agamemnon could not save from death. When death comes for him, its almost a relief.

Years later, when Menelaus returns to Achaea it is only with grief of how his last moments with Agamemnon went, mourning his elder brother and regretting it all. He has no clue that his sister isn't well, isn't hale, isn't even alive. When Hermione tells him that Aunt Anaxibia died 16 years ago, its the gentlest her voice has been since their return to Sparta, yet it does little to reduce the pain. He wants to scream and cry and curse the skies, but all he is left feeling is this numbness.

oh my do I have any more? (some of these are old btw)

In order we have: a little family portrait from before everything went to shit some half assed Clytemnestra outfit sketches some Electra sketches Menelaus and Agamemnon's sister bc someone asked for her so I guess I'm throwing her in here too a sketch of Helen and Hermoine based on the painting "the nest" (may or may not finish this in the future)

and finally some Iphigenia angst
