Description
This is the first book-length study to reconstruct the experiences of the abandoned heroines of the Heroides, which have been largely ignored by past criticism. Bringing together a broad range of ancient and modern critical thought, Dr. Spentzou isolates the voices of landmark female figures of the classical myth, releasing them from Ovid's male text.
