Ovid also introduces us to another character from Greek mythology, also named Iphis, a Cypriot shepherd who loved a woman named Anaxarete . Anaxarete scorned him and Iphis killed himself in despair. Because Anaxarete was still unmoved, Aphrodite changed her to stone. Iphis later fathered Evadne . Ovid, Metamorphoses, XIV, 802. As written in Homer 's The Iliad , Iphis was ''also'' a name given to the mistress of Patroclus , Achilles ' companion-in-arms. |
