Monteverdi and Purcell drew from Greek and Roman mythology to tap into the rich emotional and dramatic potential of these ancient narratives, which resonated deeply with audiences. These myths offered timeless themes of love, fate, and the human condition, allowing composers to explore complex emotions and moral dilemmas through music. Additionally, the classical references elevated their works, aligning them with the ideals of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, where there was a revival of interest in antiquity. Ultimately, these stories provided a familiar cultural framework that enriched their operas and theatrical compositions.
