- The monograph is based on an interdisciplinary PhD project that made innovative and creative use of postcolonial translation theory to analyse in depth women’s prophetic language in a wide range of ancient Greek and Roman primary sources written over more than 500 years of antiquity, including Lycophron’s neglected and challenging ‘Alexandra’. These critical insights were further developed by another decade of research into the gendered, political, and aesthetic dimensions of female prophets’ riddles not only in ancient literature but also in their reception across several different artforms (poetry, essays, novellas, operas, and ballets) in multiple languages (English, French, and German).
