Christine de Pizan (1364-?1430) was the first French woman poet to
make her living by the pen, and the first female interpreter of
classical myths; she held enormous power in the French court and
influenced late medieval culture in France and in England in a
number of ways. The Letter of Othea to Hector, her most popular
work, is a series of a hundred verse texts about a mythological
figure or moment, with prose moral glosses explaining how to read
the myth in order to improve human character. It is translated here
with introduction, notes, and interpretative essay.
