What is The Sorrows of Mattidia: A New Translation and Commentary (Routledge Classical Translations) about?

This volume offers a new translation of the Pseudo-Clementine family narrative here known as The Sorrows of Mattidia . It contains a full introduction which explores the obscured origins of the text, the plot, and main characters, and engages in a comparison of the portrayal of pagan, Jewish, and Christian women in this text with what we encounter in other literature. It also discusses a general strategy for how historians can utilize fictional narratives like this when examining the lives of women in the ancient world. This translation makes this fascinating source for late antique women available in this form for the first time. ** Cover 1 Title 4 Copyright 5 Contents 6 List of illustrations 8 Acknowledgements 9 Part I Women of the Clementina 10 1 What is The Sorrows of Mattidia? 12 A Introduction 12 B Obscured origins 13 C An ancient romance 17 2 Women of the Clementina 26 A Overview 26 B Women of the Clementina 28 i Mattidia 28 a Historical background: Mattidia the Elder and Mattidia the Younger 28 b Mattidia, the mother of Clement 38 ii Mattidia and the widow(s) of Arados 42 iii Mattidia and the wife of Peter 46 iv Justa and her daughter, Bernice 48 v Helena and female prophe
