Resumen
Las virreinas novohispanas estuvieron presentes en alegorías y jeroglíficos en los programas iconográficos de los arcos triunfales levantados para los virreyes en las ciudades de México y Puebla. Este texto analiza los personajes asignados por los ideólogos de los arcos, especialmente de la segunda mitad del siglo xvii, que utilizaron a menudo a figuras femeninas amantes o esposas de los héroes y dioses con los que se paragonaba al virrey. A estas mujeres y diosas de la mitología grecorromana se les atribuían una serie de virtudes acordes a lo que se esperaba de la virreina: piedad, sacrificio, armonía conyugal, fertilidad, belleza y, además, se encomiaba sus ilustres y elevados linajes.

This text analyzes the characters assigned by the ideologists of the arches, especially in the second half of the seventeenth century, who often used female figures, lovers or wives of the heroes and gods with whom the viceroy was paragonized. These women and goddesses of Greco-Roman mythology were assigned a series of virtues in accordance with what was expected of the viceroy: piety, sacrifice, conjugal harmony, fertility, beauty. In addition, their illustrious and elevated lineages were praised.
