Hoffman, Richard L.

Title
Ovid and the Monk's Tale of Hercules.

Published
Notes and Queries 210 (1965): 406-9.

Description
Suggests that although Chaucer generally follows Boethius's "Consolation of Philosophy" in his account of the labors of Hercules, one discrepancy may have been influenced by a scholists' gloss to Ovid's "Ibis" 401-2.
