Coriolanus
After Coriolanus joined the Volscians, the Romans feared for their safety and tried various means to persuade Coriolanus to end the war between the Volscians and Romans, but not very successfully until the women took on the task of intercession.
The women of Rome went to Coriolanus' house, where his mother and wife still lived, to beg them to intercede with him. The women set out for Coriolanus' camp. At first he was going to refuse to even see the women until someone pointed out that his mother and wife were among them.
The pleas and reproaches of his mother at this family reunion were too much for Coriolanus to bear and he agreed to withdraw the Volscian troops. It is not known what happened to him afterwards. Some say that a Volscian mob, angered by what they saw as his treachery, killed him, others say that he lived to a ripe old age in exile.
