Description
Caeneus and Atalanta both have an exceptional relationship to virtus and muliebritas. Caeneus was transformed into a man after he was assaulted, and Atalanta as a warrior and Argonaut is a woman in a man's position. We will read the sections of the Metamorphoses that address Atalanta and Caeneus and discuss what their experience means for them inside of and outside of the expectations of "virtue."
