In addition to close readings of the major treatments of each woman's story (in Catullus, Virgil, Ovid, and Seneca), she offers extended thematic explorations of the importance of memory, wildness, and morality in the myths. By extending the net to encompass three women (all from the same ill-fated family), the book gives a clear picture of the complexity and fascinating interconnectedness of myths and texts in Ancient Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51669275279648,"sku":"NEW0199284032","price":256.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/719IhBtyyAL.jpg?v=1779045120","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/cretan-women-pasiphae-ariadne-and-phaedra-in-latin-poetry-oxford-classical-monographs-0199284032","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
