The ''Double Heroides'' are a set of six epistolary poems allegedly composed by Ovid in Latin elegiac couplets, following the fifteen poems of his ''Heroides'', and numbered 16 to 21 in modern scholarly editions. These six poems present three separate exchanges of paired epistles: one each from a heroic lover from Greek or Roman mythology to his absent beloved, and one from the heroine in return. Ovid's authorship is uncertain. ==The Collection== The single ''Heroides'' (1–15) are not listed here: see the relevant section of that article for the single epistles. The paired epistles are written as exchanges between the following heroes and heroines: * XVI. Paris to Helen, trying to persuade her to leave her husband, Menelaus, and go with him to Troy * XVII. Helen’s reply to Paris, revealing her readiness to leave Menelaus for him * XVIII. Leander to Hero, on his love for her * XIX. Hero’s reply to Leander, on her love for him * XX. Acontius to Cydippe, on his love for her, reminding her of her commitment to marry him * XXI. Cydippe’s reply to Acontius, agreeing to marry him 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Double Heroides」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
