According to Ovid, when Iphis' mother fell pregnant, her husband threatened to kill the child if it was a girl, so when Iphis was born her mother raised her as a boy. The gods transformed Iphis into a man so that she could wed the love of her life. Ali Smith creates a story that leaps across the centuries to bring the myth alive again.
