As a kid, I liked reading Ancient Greece myths like my peers, but I definitely missed this one! Turns out, when Cly is named >!Clytemnestra!< in her important companion mission, >!it basically describes her ENTIRE STORY. Specifically, a woman who brutally murders her warrior chief husband in revenge for murdering her daughter just to make the sailing winds favorable, 10 years ago — and the epics paint HER as a treacherous, unrepentant killer! In other version, the husband has killed both her previous husband and her child.!<

Good for them, that's a cool callback. Link: >!<

Also, I just wanted to share, I saw in a museum these statues of apsara celestical dancers from India (Buddhist thing). And their pose struck me as incredibly familiar. I now think that the artists for the game referenced these depictions to make this iconic pose for Cly. Despite the helmet, and the heavy armor (I saw people on this subreddit who genuinely thought Cly was a man), her pose and animations tell the story: she's elegant, balletically precise, lazy-dangerous, and a grown-ass woman. Without ever seeing her face, you can instantly feel it. And also how special, supple, and worn in her armor apparently is, for her ankles to have such a free range of motion.

UPD: The commenters pointed out that her last name is also a huge spoiler. You'll find it easily,. This is so cool.

[SPOILER] I didn't know Cly's name drop was such a complete retroactive spoiler. I feel stupid

Aurelio's real name is Phlan Phlolo. You know, like the famous smuggler Schman Schmolo
