anghraine: an illustration of the greek goddess athena with dark hair (athena)
moggett responded to this post:

True! But I remember being annoyed her transformation wasn’t even a story of her own, just an adjunct to somebody else! 😠

I replied:

That’s very fair! The Metamorphoses doesn’t even explain why it happens or who causes it, the sisters are just mourning and then, wham, poplars.

My girl Liriope is mostly just present as Narcissus’s mother, so she has a pretty bad go of it as an adjunct to someone else’s story, too :(
