Rape, abduction, and other power plays over women are pretty normalized in a lot of mythology (and Greek myths are no exception), so I think folks don't really read them that way.

I can give many examples of this, but here just a few:
- Daphne
- Helen of Troy
- Leda
- Europa
- Philomela
- Caeneus
- Demeter
