Hermione is also the daughter of Helen of Troy and Menelaus
 Her dad arranged for her to marry Orestes (who ended up murdering lots of 
family members and was haunted by Erinyes for a long time), but when the 
Trojan War began, he tried to get on the Greeks good side by marrying her off 
to Neoptolemus (Pyrrhus), the only son of Achilles. The two suitors dueled 
over Hermione and Neoptolemus was killed. Sounds kinda like a Harry Ron 
Hermione love triangle to me.
