In the bible we read that Lot’s wife was changed to a pillar of salt. […] She was a dutiful wife, and did not set up her own will against his. […] What made Tereus tell his wife that it was a long voyage to Athens from Thrace? […] “Farewell, beloved wife!” […] You know if Athamas were ever so good, if he lost his reason, he might have killed his wife and child.

Ops, or Rhea, his wife, succeeded in concealing Jupiter from him. […] She was the daughter of Saturn and Ops, and was both sister and wife of Jupiter. […] She was the daughter of Cœlum, and the wife of Saturn. […] Of the entire human race, only Deucalion and his wife, Pyrrha, were saved. […] His wife begged in vain to be allowed to accompany her husband in his exile.
