The Heroides (Letters of Heroines) is a unique epistolary genre in Roman poetry created by Ovid. The mythical heroines, who are actually real women, express their feelings caused by separation from their husbands or lovers in the form of a lyrical monologue. The author of "Heroid", a subtle psychologist, a master of rhetorical and recitative poetry, "staged" the world of the female soul, which is striking in its diversity and richness of emotions. All this "action" is set against the backdrop of the macrocosm: land, sea and sky. The "Heroines", in their psychological depth, are like echoes of the voices of Greek tragedians who also sang the eternal - love and suffering - in the open air.
