- Flora is an ambiguous figure: she is a pagan goddess of Spring, but is also a double of Saint Eulaha, a Christian woman-child who suffered martydom under Arab fanatics: Bill Durant, The Age of Faith (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1950), 301.
- This striking image is not in Prudentius, where the breasts are ripped with hooks. Lorca may have taken it from a painting by Zurbarán, kept in the Monasterio de la Merced Calzada in Seville, which presents Saint Agatha with her breast on a plate, as the emblem of her martyrdom. See Jonathan Brown, Catalogue of the Exhibition (New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1988), 117.
