Lavinia and Anna Komnene are semi-operatic oratorios by Georgia Shreve that pay tribute to wise and strong women of antiquity. In the case of Lavinia, conceived by Virgil and fleshed out by novelist Ursula Le Guin, she stands up against kings and threats of war to marry Aeneas, the man she has chosen. In the case of Anna Komnene, her life was a testimony not just to her father, but to history, education and the potential power of women. Both texts are inspired by Homer’s Iliad, with the Aeneid and the Alexiad using parallel names.
