- Description
- Whatever his name may suggest, Pandarus was himself a true lover, holding love and friendship, though subject to the vicissitudes of Fortune, as the highest human values. Endowed with social grace and committed to friendship, Pandarus pretends not to realize that his friend's love affair is ended until Troilus himself gains that insight.
