Wait… Idas was Perseus’s great grandson, Marpessa is Pelops niece (not even grandniece) how did that work?
Perhaps there’s a massive age gap between Hippodamia and Alcippe (Marpessa’s mother) and she’s a baby by the time Hippodamia got married and with further stenches of age gaps that I don’t care to get into then Marpessa and Idas would be around the same age? Perhaps Alcippe had Marpessa when she was older?
I headcanon that Marpessa was in her late 20s to further justify why she’s worried and even angry over her father forcing her to remain unwed, and Idas is in his early 20s.
