People who are interested in reading a modern take on the sort of society in which Psychomachia could have been read could do worse than read 'Hild' [0] by Nicola Griffith. Hild is a fictionalized account of the early life of the woman who became Hilda of Whitby, the founding abbess of the monastery at Whitby. It is a historical drama, but written by a science fiction author who uses her world-building skills to create a story of first-contact between the court of a pagan king and the alien priests of Rome, told from the perspective of a kick-ass ninja seer (Hild) who just happens to be the King's niece. Hild could easily have been a character in Psychomachia [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hild_(novel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hild_(novel) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilda_of_Whitby https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilda_of_Whitby
