The book examines the myth of Hercules and Omphale/Iole which became an important topic in the visual arts in the period 1500-1800. It offers an analysis of the iconography from the perspective of the history of emotions, classical and Neo-Latin philology, reception studies, and gender studies. The early modern inventions of the myth excel in a skilful display of mixed and compound emotions, such as the male character's psychopathology, and of the theatrical performance of emotions by the female character.

Karl Enenkel is Professor of Medieval-and Neo-Latin Literature at the University of Münster. He has published five monographs and well over a hundred articles, and has edited more than forty collective volumes. His latest publication is a critical edition of Erasmus's Apophthegmata, books V-VIII (Brill, 2024).
