Ovid's Metamophoses http://kokoelmat.fng.fi/app?si=B+I+140
In the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, people were increasingly starting to think about their identities. Thoughts of gender and sexuality appeared in literature and art as much as they did for example in psychology or medicine. The sculptures in Auguste Rodin’s La Porte de l'Enfer depict love between women. What is interesting about the work is the fact that in late nineteenth century France, the female homosexuality that it takes as its subject was perceived as being extremely modern, even fashionable, but was largely described by means of stories from Ancient Greece and Rome.

Danaïd http://collection.nationalmuseum.se/eMuseumPlus?service=ExternalInterface&module=collection&objectId=27970&viewType=detailView
According to Greek mythology, the Danaïds were banished to the underworld and the eternal task of filling a leaky vessel with water. The female figure is crouched in a pose that expresses despair in the face of this hopeless chore. The Danaïd was originally designated to be part of The Gates of Hell. The work was enlarged and cut in marble for the buyer Herman Frithiof Antell. Encouraged by the success, Rodin had further copies made in marble, bronze and other materials.
