Priam and Hecuba saw Helene with Paris and marveled that she had such beauty. They inquired of her who she was, of what parentage. [...] So Hecuba embraced her, kissed her, and held her in high esteem.
Malalas, Chronographia 5.96 - 97
When Hector’s mother Hecuba is attempting to get Hector to return to the safety of the walls of Troy and to not make his fateful stand against Achilles, she pleads with him by showing him her breast. Now, I want to preface by emphasizing the symbolism and meaning of this action; she’s showing him the breast he was fed on and the breast on which he cried as a child. However, look at it this way:
You’re one of the most feared warriors in the war. You’ve decided that this is where you will make your final stand. Your entire nation is watching on from safety, hoping, pleading that you will bow out to fight another day. Your dad (The King) is practically pulling his hair out to plead with you. Your mom (The Queen), who let’s keep in mind, is probably in her 60s, pulls out her tit, and goes “hey son, don’t be an idiot, because of my booby.”
Like… just such a weird mental image. Could you imagine?

Hecuba should have been allowed to beat Achilles and Odysseus with sticks
The scene with Odysseus and Hecuba from Euripides Hecuba rattles around my head like constantly. Pleading, on the basis of prior mercy shown to the man who now holds the same power over you that you held over him, for the life of your daughter after so many of your children were slain, only for the response to be that any mercy required would be for you, not your daughter.

HEKABE Tell them I am the most sorrowful woman alive. I do not exist. There is nothing left. Not even evils.
