Anaxarete

Iphis and Anaxarete illustration by Virgil Solis

In Greek mythology, Anaxarete (Greek: Ἀναξαρέτη) was a Greek maiden who refused the advances of a shepherd named Iphis. His advances were described in Ovid's Metamorphoses in the following paragraph:

Anaxarete spurned him and mocked his feelings until he cried in despair and hanged himself on her doorstep. Anaxarete was still unmoved. When she mocked his funeral, calling it pitiful, Aphrodite turned her into a stone statue. According to Ovid, the statue was preserved at Salamis in Cyprus, in the temple of Venus Prospiciens.
