I could talk about how Tereus raped his sister in law and then cut off her tongue. He then hid her in a tower and told his wife that she had died. Her sister weaved a tapestry and sent it to her sister. On it Philomela showed exactly what happened to her. Her sister saved her and they decided to get back at Tereus. She killed her son and made him into a soup to feed Tereus. Once he ate it she showed him his head and ran away with her sister with him following them
