Six texts converse with the female form in the history of literature: from the enigmatic woman in Sapphic rupture 31 to the heroines of the tragedies, from Baukis - the deceased friend of Irinna - to Hypatia of Synesius' letters and from the mysterious Lesbian of Catullus to the New Woman of the early 20th century, as represented by Maria Myrtou, the heroine of Kallirroi Parren.
The "Heroines" are involved with history and myth, with experience and fiction, and penetrate the human. Thanks to the heroines as protagonists, the great writers managed to trace the complex nature of the human soul.
