	THE VOICE OF THE SHUTTLE IS OURS (KLINDIENST)
		Philomela experiences rape as a form of contagious pollution because it is both adultery and incest, the two cardinal transgressions of the rule of exogamy.
		Philomela experiences herself as the source of dangerous contagion[30] because once violated she is both rival and monstrous double of her own sister.
		Philomela's weaving is the new, third term in what Greek culture often presents us as two models of the woman weaver, the false twins: virtuous Penelope, continually weaving and unraveling a shroud, and vicious Helen, weaving a tapestry depicting the heroics of the men engaged in the war they claim to fight over her body.

		Samuel J. The Allusive Exile: Philomela and Palamedes in Ovid's Tristia 1.1
		The similarities between the two passages are significant and illuminating: Ovid and Philomela have been removed from civilized places to barbarous lands; their conditions are excruciating because of the silence imposed upon them; and both of them employ textual means to overcome this silence.
		The allusions to Philomela and Palamedes in Tristia 1.1 convey complex, intertextual messages that place Ovid among the characters of his Metamorphoses and reinforce his depiction of exile in terms of the unreal and mythical.

	Procne and Philomela
		Now, Apollodorous doesn't SAY anything about the Gods punishing him for this kind of marriage (the only such marriage in Greek legend, according to the Perseus Project), but I think that is a possibility considering what happened to his family.
		Tereus had his kicks with Procne, leaving her to bear their son, Itys, but after the fun was done (for him) he abandoned Procne in his house in the country, where no one would no she was there.
		But Philomela was an accomplished weaver (like most upper class Greek women) and she wove characters into a robe, thereby letting her sister Procne know what was going on.
