Theodosius' Rebuffing of Athena

According to legend, Theodosius was not interested in a well-thought-out political marriage to some wealthy senator's daughter. So when a young Greek girl named Athena-is arrived in Constantinople to beg justice from the emperor after getting more or less left out of her father's will despite being unmarried, Illyria Pulcheria took one look at her and knew that she had her girl. No great alliances were formed, no peace was settled, but hey, at least she was hot.
