In the Oresteia, Clytemnestra, the queen and wife of Agamemnon, plays a critical role as she is who changes how women can be when in control. She is distressed as horrid events occur to her but she does not show any sign of fear.

Now that matters of love magic have been put to rest, it is time to shift our attention to the last remaining witches of the Metamorphoses. In terms of the story’s narrative, Pamphile is after Meroe and Panthia the second witch that the reader comes across in the novel. The end of Aristomenes’ tale finds Lucius already in Hypata, searching for the house of his host, the frugal Milo.
