Such an emphatic antithesis is the result of Deianira’s selective use of the previous mythological tradition referred to Hercules and leads to the construction of a (new) distorted version of the story. These tasks, which include also Hercules’ cross-dressing, not only represent an ironical amplification of the elegiac topos of the servitium amoris, but are also in opposition with Hercules’ traditional ‘heroic’ labours (84-100). After having provided a short overview of the contents of the letter, I will examine some specific lines, namely 74-118, where Hercules is told to have become effeminate and even performed female tasks (74-81 101-118).
Following this route, in my paper I shall focus on Heroides 9: this is arranged as a letter written to Hercules by Deianira, who claims that he has fallen in love with Iole – after having had love affairs with many other women during his travels – and, thus, forgotten of his wife. According to these approaches, the letters may be interpreted as examples of écriture féminine, which gives expression to female voices, in spite of the male poet behind them. In particular, since the beginning of the 2000s they have been profitably examined through categories pertaining to modern literary criticism, as, for instance, intertextuality and intratextuality, as well as through psychological or gender-based approaches. Having been neglected for a long time by Ovidian scholars, who have stigmatized them as repetitive in patterns and deficient in originality, the Heroides have undergone a revaluation only in the last decades. *Speak with and assist a cast of bizarre characters.Ovid’s Heroides are staged as love letters written by female characters from mythology to their partners. *Traditional 2D animation brings creatures and characters to life *Challenging gameplay that can be difficult but always fair. Vibrant characters and creatures and detailed environments will draw you deep into the world. The look of Virago is reminiscent of a lovingly crafted 2D animated movie. The world Virago will be brought to life in vivid, moody detail, its bizarre and terrifying creatures each animated by hand in a traditional 2D style. Your goal as willow is to explore this deep dark town, finding your way through the vile citizen to make it out in one piece.The way forward is not always clear, and deadly creatures will hunt you relentlessly and effortlessly, but as you keep going, finding new paths, and finding powerful new weapons and abilities, you will begin to uncover some deep dark secrets of the town.
While moving around her city one day, she begins to lose sight of what’s real and fake, this begins to affect her emotionally and psychologically. Virago is about a young girl called Willow, after an incident with her stalker she begins to suffer from hallucinations.
