Gower’s “Tale of Canace and Machaire” (Confessio Amantis, III.143-336) is based upon Canace’s farewell letter to her brother Macareus in Ovid’s Heroides, Book 11. In the Heroides, Canace recounts her plight: she fell in love with her brother and had a child by him.

In Greek mythology, Canace (Template:Lang-el) was a daughter of Aeolus and Enarete, and lover of Poseidon. Canace had seven brothers and six sisters. Her brothers were Athamas, Cretheus, Deioneus, Macar (also called Macareus), Perieres, Salmoneus and Sisyphus.

Canace (Κανάκη), tragic victim of the story presented in *Euripides' Aeolus. A daughter of the island-king *Aeolus (1), she was impregnated by her brother Macareus. When she gave birth and the affair came to light, her father sent her a sword with which she committed suicide; the guilty brother followed suit.

Canace's describing herself as wholly a stranger to love, and wondering at its effects, as not knowing whence they came, is an ingenious supposition of the poet, and, by spreading an agreeable variety over the subject, heightens the reader's pleasure.

Live ever mindful of your Canace, and shed some tears over my wound: nor fear to touch the breathless body of one whom you loved. Fulfil these last commands of thy hapless sister; and I will execute the cruel mandates of my unrelenting sire.
