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.


Efrossini Spentzou is Lecturer in Classics, Royal Holloway, University of London
