- Description
- The Knight, in representing the gods, omits any reference to the castration of Saturn in order to justify the ascendancy of Jupiter, the authority of Theseus, and the political situation of the later fourteenth century, "a dark time in which Jupiter's lechery, doubleness, and treason substitute for the Golden Age of Saturn."
