==In ancient art== [[File:BnF Français 874 fol. 47v.jpg|thumb|Canace slaying herself with the sword given to her by her father.]] #According to [[Pliny the Elder]] (35.99), a certain Aristeides from Thebes painted Canace dying from love to her brother ({{lang|grc|ἀναπαυομένην}} {{lang|la|propter fratris amorem}}). This image, not preserved, might be dated between 340 and 290 BCE.<ref>[[Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae|LIMC]] V.1, p. 951.</ref> #Macareus' and Canace's story is found on a [[hydria]] from Lucania, now in the archeological museum of [[Bari]]. It is thought to illustrate some scenes from Euripides' lost tragedy ''Aeolus''.<ref>Reproduced in LIMC I.2. [http://ark.dasch.swiss/ark:/72163/080e-74ffbc8383898-4 See on Digital LIMC]</ref> #There is also a [[fresco]] from Rome, making part of a series of women personnages (the others being [[Pasiphaë]], [[Phaedra (mythology)|Phaedra]] etc.). Canace is depicted with a sword in her hand. The series might be a copy of some Hellenistic painting.<ref>Reproduced in LIMC V.2.
