OP Thank you.
I've never heard of the patient Griselda.
From your link:Quote:
Griselda is also a figure from folklore (the patient Griselda) (anglicised to Grizzel and similar forms). She occurs in tales by Boccaccio, Petrarch and Chaucer. "Griselda" is a tale by Charles Perrault. The play Patient Grissel dates from 1599. There are operas named Griselda by Alessandro Scarlatti (1721), Giovanni Bononcini (1722), and Antonio Vivaldi (1735). The Modern Griselda is a novel by Maria Edgeworth from 1804.
What's her connection to candaulism?
