The name Erato belonged to one of the nine muses
of Greek mythology: that who ruled love stories. No, it's not
the same word as erOtic; literally Erato is "the Lovely,"
from Greek erastos "loved, beloved; lovely, charming." The
author's own given name being that of a different muse, the
name
Erato was chosen as the nomme de plume that seemed
especially fit for writing historical stories with a romantic
theme, though she also writes historical novels without
strong romantic elements. Her works are normally highly
researched, subversive, and can tend toward humorous even
when telling of tragedy.
