Christine de Pizan's Epistre Othea aims to show a variety of models about what does it mean to be a perfect knight. In her book she bases on several sources, among which the Ovide moralisé is one of the most important. Thus, it's surprising that one of the used exempla conspicuously departs from the content of this work (and others that she knew) by introducing an episode in which Apollo kills Ganymede, not only in the text itself but also in the iconographic program that accompanies it in the manuscripts. This article tries to draw attention to this unique feature in order to seek some possible explanation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the article we study two visions of the city. A "classical" and allegorical one is included in Christine de Pizan's well-known oeuvre, Le Livre de la Cité des Dames (1404/1405). We compare it to a biographically conditioned construction from the essays Digues que m'estimes encara que sigui mentida (1991) by the Catalan writer Montserrat Roig. the key factor in our analysis is the chronotope structure and the relationship between the image of the city and the writing act. We note a number of similarities between the two visions, some of them stemming from the identity and the social and cultural situation of the feminine subject, but also point out some differences, as those determined by the historical context of both texts and their literary genres.

This article intends to reevaluate Christine de Pizan's 1405 work, The city of ladies, as a landmark in the history of political thought. In the context of its sixth centenary, it acknowledges the extent and actuality of its contribution. It considers the construction of the political subject women as its most significant contribution.
