Editing Mithridatism (section)

==In literature==
Mithridatism has been used as a plot device in fiction and on-screen; including the Indian fantasy series ''[[Chandrakanta (1994 TV series)|Chandrakanta]]'', [[Alexandre Dumas]]'s ''[[The Count of Monte Cristo]]'', [[Holly Black]]'s "[[The Cruel Prince]]", [[Nathaniel Hawthorne]]'s "[[Rappaccini's Daughter]]", [[Yoshiaki Kawajiri]]'s ''[[Ninja Scroll]]'', [[Dorothy Sayers]]'s ''[[Strong Poison]]'', [[Agatha Christie]]'s ''[[Curtain (novel)|Curtain]]'', the [[manhwa]] Roxana, the manga/anime ''[[Spy × Family (TV series)|Spy x Family]]'', the manga/anime/light novel series ''[[The Apothecary Diaries]]'', [[William Goldman]]'s ''[[The Princess Bride (novel)|The Princess Bride]]'' (as well as its [[The Princess Bride (film)|film adaptation]]), and the American historical series ''[[The Borgias (2011 TV series)|The Borgias]]''.

In [[Michael Curtis Ford]]'s historical novel ''The Last King'', on the life and conquests of Mithridates VI, the technique is used by Mithridates.

[[A. E. Housman]]'s "Terence, this is stupid stuff" (originally published in ''[[A Shropshire Lad]]'') invokes mithridatism as a metaphor for the benefit that serious poetry brings to the reader. The final section is a poetic rendition of the Mithridates legend.
