Iphis and Ianthe, two girls in ancient Egypt. Women may not be able to be together back then, but the gods can make it happen.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
