I know! It's kind of mindboggling! I was at a conference at the Louvre two years ago and the woman doing the speaking told us about the time she found three (3!) of her objects of study in some remote museum where they hadn't even been catalogued.

You know, I hadn't thought of it that way, but those *are* male protagonist tropes.

(Saw the lesbian sex scene, but yeah. I mean, I didn't make it up, right? Caesar is famous for not being straight? "Queen of Bythinia" and all that? "the husband of every wife and the wife of every husband"?)
