      Even the Mahabharata is like a thorough endorsement of Patriarchal power structures but it's what makes mythology and its fuzzy ironic (ambivalent?) relationship with its historical context so interesting

          the idea of purity, especially purity in a patriarchal sense where a woman held captive by "impure" enemy forces must painstakingly, exhaustively, and perhaps even dangerously prove her "purity" to the patriarchal power.

          Maybe not so different from Iphigenia / Isaac.
