 In 2008 the newspaper "The Guardian" named Myrrha's relationship with her father as depicted in "Metamorphoses" by Ovid as one of the top ten stories of incestuous love ever.It complimented the myth for being more disturbing than any of the other incestuous relationships depicted in the "Metamorphoses".One of the earliest recordings of a play inspired by the myth of Myrrha is in the "Antiquities of the Jews", written in 93 A.D. by the Roman-Jewish historian Flavius Josephus.
