      This quote from Lysistrata really exemplifies Lysistrata's designation as a RRRT character. She uses her cunning to shake up the status quo in order to accomplish a moral good.

    1. Brahma

      According to the World History Encyclopedia, "Brahma is the Hindu creator god" (Cartwright). Brahma is one third of the great Hindu gods along side Shiva and Vishnu. Compared to the other two gods Brahma isn't worshipped nearly as much despite being responsible for creation. This is explained by one Hindu myth in which Brahma becomes so obsessed with a woman named Shatarupa that he grew five heads so he could always look at her. Shiva put an end to this by cutting off Brahma's fifth head and cursed Brahma to not be worshipped by people as repentance.
