If anyone here has watched Game of Thrones, she will know!!!!
We know for sure their marriage was a stormy one!!!!
In fact possibly she killed him!!!!
I don't think this is as much distortion of history as they are doing in case of Porus' parents!!!!
Just because we know nothing of them, Siddharth Tewary has gotten the right to improvise, he had to do a Gul Khan in historical setting!!!!😡
Ah the reference to the blasted GoT. 😆 See putri this is why I maintain it to be a overhyped stuff.
Well concept of marital rape existed both among the Greeks and us Indians. A man couldn't force himself on a woman even if she was a prostitute. This went down during the medieval ages badly when women were stripped off all their rights. Among the Greeks such women who were victims of rape were kept in shelters guarded with symbols of Medusa while the trial was on.
Besides the rocky marriage was of Olympia's own making. Had she not been that mad about power she probably would have had a happy marriage. I mean it ended with she getting Philip murdered, it is enough a proof of what kind of a woman she was.
