The Myths of Chaucer's 'Troilus and Criseyde'
- Published
- Dissertation Abstracts International 48 (1987): 123A-124A.
- Description
- Rehyansky studies classical allusions Chaucer introduced into TC: they underscore its themes. Oenone, Daphne, Europa, and Venus represent the folly and tragedy of love; Niobe, Tantalus, Ixion, and Tityus show the folly of pride, greed, and ambition. These myths prepare for the palinode.
