- Description
- Depictions of Thebes indicate various medieval views of history. "Roman de Thebes" blurs contrasts between pagan and Christian, classical and historical. Boccaccio's "Teseida" resists the modernization and secularization of romance tradition. TC suggests that romance decorum has eroded the historical.
