- Description
- The friendship between Troilus and Pandarus synthesizes Cicero's "pure friendship" with "potential for mutual gain," emblematized in Troilus's offer to procure any woman Pandarus wants. Portraying friendship in economic terms, TC reveals more "cupiditas" than "caritas." Garrison includes evidence from Aelred's "De spirituali amicitia" and Alfonsi's "Disciplina clericalis."
