Michalopoulos, Andreas N. (Author)
This paper examines the central role of magic in Hypsiplye's letter to Jason. Hypsipyle's main goal is to portray Medea as a horrible and omnipotent witch, so as to make Jason leave her and return to her. Ovid works on the reich magic stock from previous lilterature, Greek and Latin. Hypsipyle closses her letter with a curse, which epitomizes her gradual transformation from a decent and mild queen to a vindictive woman who resorts to magic in order to fight against the most powerful witch of all times.
