#i'm gonna look into selene more to see if there's any closer connections other than being the goddess of the moon

While I'm on my Greek mythology comparisons, I can't help thinking of Medea. Medea tricks King Pelias' daughters into chopping their father into pieces so Jason can win the throne. When Jason learns of this, he is horrified and wants to divorce and remarry. Medea learns Jason is going to leave her for another woman, so she poisons the new bride's wedding dress, killing both her and her father. Then she kills her and Jason's children as punishment to him for leaving her. She says her primary goal is make sure he suffers forever. Jason dies alone and despised because of what Medea has done.

Medea's motivations and actions remind me an awful lot of Lanfear, and after looking at 13th depository it turns out she was an inspiration for her character.
