We all know Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire is mostly Medieval in inspiration, no one can deny it. The author took a lot of ideas from historical events such as the Wars of the Roses and the Norman conquest. That does not mean, however, that there isn’t quite a lot of Classical inspiration. From ancient symbols to figures and ideas, if you look attentively, you can find quite a lot of comparisons. The one I’m bringing today involves Cersei Lannister and Robert Baratheon.
