Penelope to Ulysses -- Phyllis to Demophoon -- Briseis to Achilles -- Phaedra to Hippolytus -- Oenone to Paris -- Hypsipyle to Jason -- Dido to Aeneas -- Hermione to Orestes -- Deianira to Hercules -- Ariadne to Theseus -- Canace to Macareus -- Medea to Jason -- Laodamia to Protesilaus -- Hypermestra to Lynceus -- Sappho to Phaon -- Paris to Helen -- Helen to Paris -- Leander to Hero -- Hero to Leander -- Acontius to Cydippe -- Cydippe to Acontius.

In the twenty-one poems of the Heroides, Ovid gave voice to the heroines and heroes of epic and myth. These deeply moving literary epistles reveal the happiness and torment of love, as the writers tell of their pain at separation, forgiveness of infidelity or anger at betrayal. The faithful Penelope wonders at the suspiciously long absence of Ulysses, while Dido bitterly reproaches Aeneas for too eagerly leaving her bed to follow his destiny, and Sappho--the only historical figure portrayed here--describes her passion for the cruelly rejecting Phaon. In the poetic letters between Paris and Helen the lovers seem oblivious to the tragedy prophesied for them, while in another exchange the youthful Leander asserts his foolhardy eagerness to risk his life to be with his beloved Hero.
