Abstract

In Cassandra: A Novel and Four Essays (1984), Wolf retells the Trojan War story from the perspective of the seer Cassandra, taking the Trojan War as a parallel to issues of her day. She uses the Amazons as important secondary characters, representing them as both woman-loving women and warriors. Wolf believes their valor in battle is only a version of men's militarism and thus provides no solution to the problem of war, her primary concern.

同性恋和/或女同性恋：克里斯塔-沃尔夫的《卡珊德拉》中的亚马逊人。

在《卡珊德拉：一部小说和四篇散文》（1984 年）中，沃尔夫以先知卡珊德拉的视角重述了特洛伊战争的故事，将特洛伊战争与她那个时代的问题相提并论。她将亚马逊人作为重要的次要人物，表现她们既是热爱女性的妇女，又是勇士。沃尔夫认为，她们在战场上的英勇表现只是男人军国主义的一个版本，因此无法解决她最关心的战争问题。
