Title : Sic ego te dilegebam: Music, Homoeroticism, and the Sacred in Early Modern Europe [The motet "Planxit autem David," sometimes attributed to Josquin Desprez, can be read as expressing, in both text and music, a homosexual relationship between David and Jonathan; this would place the motet in the same context as the homoerotic myth of Ganymede and the depiction of Orpheus by Ovid as turning to the love of young men after his loss of Eurydice; the emphasis upon the name of Jonathan in this composition can be read as supporting such an interpretation; the Appendix presents the Latin text as set by Josquin Desprez along with an English translation].

Title : Christine de Pizan’s “Le Livre de la Cite des Dames”: The Reconstruction of Myth [The author examines Christine’s response to a misogynist literary tradition through her treatment of myth and history. Christine derives mythological material from Boccaccio and largely recasts female mythological figures (like goddesses) as historical figures, in contrast to the more common trend of mythologizing history (treating historical figures as mythological).

Title : The Vernal Paradox: Dante's Matelda [The author identifies the "donna soletta" of Dante's "Purgatorio" with Matelda (from the same book), and examines their relationship to Proserpina, the goddess of spring. Matelda has most often been identified with Matilda, Countess of Tuscany and ally of Pope Gregory VII. However, the author argues that the more important consideration is the figure's associations with spring, the Church Militant, and natural justice. Since she is not named until later by Beatrice, her identity may not be extremely significant. However, the author believes she most likely represents Saint Mathilde, empress and wife of Heinrich I, Holy Roman emperor. Title note supplied by Feminae.].

Title : The Daisy and the Laurel: Myths of Desire and Creativity in the Poetry of John Froissart [Froissart’s poetic persona fuses the identities of the cleric and the lover, and thus his poetry is both learned and secular. He adapts Ovidian myths (particularly those focusing on Apollo, a figure of both poetry and wisdom) to construct a mythographic basis for his intellectualized poetic identity and love psychology. At the same time, he adapts numerous mythic allusions to transform the daisy into a symbol of erotic desire, loss, and memory. Title note supplied by Feminae.].

Title : Mythological Lovers in Chaucer's "Trolius and Criseyde" [Chaucer makes many allusions to well-known figures from classical mythology in this poem, and medieval readers were familiar with the meanings of these references. For instance, when Chaucer's fickle Criseyde mentions Oenone (a female figure from Ovid's "Heroides"), medieval readers would have been reminded of medieval glosses of the "Heroides" that interpret Oenone as exemplum of foolish love. Allusions to other mythological lovers like Tereus and Procne, Orpheus and Eurydice, and Myrrha similarly serve as exampla for love as a disastrous and socially destructive force.

Title : Venus Unveiled: Lydgate’s “Temple of Glas” and the Religion of Love [Although Lydgate’s allegorical poem strikes modern readers as long-winded and boring, it is actually an interesting ironic treatment of frustrated love that achieves its effect by reworking literary influences (especially Chaucer’s dream visions). While the poem appears to be a straightforward praise of Venus and erotic love, numerous Classical references and allusions to inconstant women run throughout the work. Thus, Lydgate actually believes that trusting in erotic love (and women in general) leads to disaster. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
