or concubine of
Alexander the Great. Proud, imperious, and relentless, she loved
Alexander with a madness of love; and being jealous of Stat[=i]ra,
daughter of King Darius, and wife of Alexander, she stabbed her and slew
her.--N. Lee, _Alexander the Great_ (1678).

So now am I as great as the famed Alexander; but my dear Stat[=i]ra
and Roxana, don't exert yourselves so much about me.--Mrs.
Centlivre, _The Wonder_, iii. 1 (1714).

=Roxa'na and Stati'ra.= Dr. Doran says that Peg Woffington (as "Roxana"),
jealous of Mrs. Bellamy (as "Statira") because she was better dressed,
pulled her to the floor when she left the stage, and pummeled her with
the handle of her dagger, screaming as she did so:

Nor he, nor heaven, shall shield thee from my justice.
Die, sorceress, die! and all my wrongs die with thee?

_Table Traits._

Campbell tells a very similar story of Mrs. Barry ("Roxana") and Miss
Boutwell ("Statira"). The stage-manager had given to Miss Boutwell a
lace veil, and Mrs. Barry, out of jealousy, actually stabbed her rival
in acting, and the dagger went a quarter of an inch through the stays
into the flesh.
