They offer a new perspective on the otherwise male-centred mythological tradition. \u003ci\u003eHeroides \u003c\/i\u003eI (from Penelope) and VII (from Dido) respond to the most famous Classical epics, Homer's \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e and Virgil's \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e, by presenting a new, less positive, angle on the two famous epic heroes.
