a Roman/Greek story, may add in some old English because we stan. (Kinda based off The Odyssey and the Peloponnesian war) (Btw her name comes from one of the Muses) A beautiful young woman, Melpomeni, is the daughter of a wealthy man, Cassius, and mother, Ocrates. Melpomeni doesn't want to be married, though her parents wishes she would, she wishes for her loneliness to go away and assumes she should just be married instead of finding a friend. She asks goddesses Hera and Aphrodite for help and they find her a suitable man, Hortensias, who comes along their town with his strange sister, Arius, asking for food and shelter for the night, Melpomeni takes a liking to him, but he doesn't except and explains that his mind is on the upcoming war with the Athenians, and so she joins him on his journey to the war and fights along side him. They might fall in love, they might be friends for life, who knows??
