		Contrary to all other versions, in which Laodamia creates an image of Protesilaos to console herself after his death, Ovid’s Laodamia fashions the imago while her husband is still alive.
		Ovid’s innovation, combined with Laodamia’s superstitious nature and her unconscious (but repeated) use of magic, provide a key to unlocking the poem’s meaning.
		By his significant changes in the myth, Ovid creates the semi-comic irony of a Laodamia who, attempting merely to assuage her loneliness, unwittingly curses her husband and causes his death, as well as her own.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.12.19
		Reeson's (R.'s) commentary on three of the lesser-known Heroides (11 from Canace to Macareus, 13 from Laodamia to Protesilaus, and 14 from Hypermestra to Lynceus) is solid and well-done, containing a new text and extensive commentary on each of the three.
		R.'s introductory discussion of Heroides 13 discusses Laodamia's "ceremonial negligence" (114), but the issue is far more complicated than he acknowledges; he seems to rely entirely upon a suggestion in Catullus 68.
		His arguments that Laodamia writes to an already-dead Protesilaus do not change my strongly held conviction that her letter (and death) have a much more intimate connection to his fate.

		This language of the initial description of Laodamia is so intertwined with the description of the arrival of Lesbia, it is somewhat difficult to distinguish whom Catullus is describing.
		Catullus then turns to Laodamia and speaks directly to her, indicating that he understands her pain and loss and also the love she felt for her husband.
		Furthermore, since Laodamia and Protesilaus did not have the opportunity to consummate their marriage, Catullus can relate to Laodamia's desire for something that in reality will never happen.
