I'm researching for a themed photo shoot, theme being 'the difficulty of escaping one's past.'
Contemporary folklore would be easy: Silvio from the Sopranos doing his Michael Corleone impression in the mirror: 'I try to get out, they keep pulling me back in!'
It's a theme that marches through time, from Greek Drama to Sophie's Choice to, of course, the Godfather / Sopranos gangster genre. But I'm looking a FEMALE representation of this theme, drawn from Greek myth preferably, though any culture would be fine.
If there were a Fury signifying 'past actions and past relationships from which one can't dissociate one's self,' I'd be golden, but only if there were a story with rich details from which I could derive visual elements.
