In Virgil’s wake : a medieval embellishment of Cerberus
This comparative study aims to stress the particular, yet typical, strategy of appropriating a classical epic into the vernacular by Norman French adaptors in the
1160s. While clarifying Virgil’s dominant inspiration, a few verses of the Aeneid (VI,
v. 417-425) on Cerberus, the Guard Dog of Hell, are expanded into 48 octosyllabic
verses (with borrowings from Ovid and Virgil’s Georgics), thus giving the Romance of
Aeneas an extraordinary “hypotyposis”. I also hope to show that iridescent description provides a metonymic key to our understanding of the way medieval romance
was created in this innovative workshop in which the classics were revitalized and
rediscovered in France during the 12th Century Renaissance. |
