Hercules and Deianira

Deianira is my favorite Greek Goddess. This is why:
A sword is a man's weapon
She is the only woman in greek history who killed herself with a sword.
I guess usually women hang themselves
but not Deianira
She does this because Hercules was killed by a woman. In killing herself with a sword she is trying to die in the manliest way possible in order to take away the pain from Hercules. Apparently Hercules is in pain because he was killed by a woman, which I guess, for a guy, sucks.
or something like that.


I am so bad at regurgitating information.

The point is: Deianira, Hercules' 3rd wife, was a badass.

She was. Btw, he was in pain because the robe she gave him burned off his skin, but as half-god, it did not kill him.
