Cretan Women - Armstrong, Rebecca (Fellow and Tutor in Classics, St Hilda's College, and Department of Classics, Oxford University)

Investigates the myths of three Cretan women - King Minos' wife, Pasiphae, and their daughters Ariadne and Phaedra - as they appear in Latin poetry of the late Republic and early Empire. This title offers detailed readings of several treatments of the stories, alongside a thematic investigation of the ideas of memory, wildness, and morality.
