Dido: Title Page of the 1594 Edition.

Though his supposed homosexual orientation may have led him to treat figures such as Edward II, Marlowe has several sympathetic portraits of impressive female characters, such as Dido here, and Zenocrate, Tamburlaine's spouse. Note that this script was designed to be played by children. Licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license.Courtesy of the Yorck Project,
