Title inspired by the Greek myth of Penthesilea:
"[. . .] Although Penthesilea was a ferocious warrior, her life came to an end, at the hands of Achilles. Achilles had seen her battling others, and was enamored with her ferocity and strength. As he fought, he worked his way towards her, like a moth drawn to a flame. While he was drawn to her with the intention of facing her as an opponent, he fell in love with her upon facing her. However, it was too late. Achilles defeated Penthesilea, catching her as she fell to the ground. [. . .] It is also said that [. . .] Achilles retrieved the body, and gave her a proper burial. [...] In other legends, it is said that Penthesilea bore Achilles a son after her death [. . .]"
