cresseida
His Troilus and Criseyde16 inspired the Scottish poet Robert Henryson to produce a sequel, The Testament of Cresseid, in which the unfaithful young woman is punished by the gods with leprosy and dies after receiving alms from Troilus who fails to recognize her in her pitiful state.17 In 1474, William Caxton included the story (by then extremely popular) in his Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye.18 Finally William Shakespeare, who famously had ‘small Latin, and less Greek’,19 and therefore almost certainly had not read Homer in the original, made use of these various English versions as sources for his Troilus and Cressida.20 CHAPTER 7 Homer in Islam
Su Troilus and Criseyde[16] inspiró al poeta escocés Robert Henryson una continuación, The Testament of Cresseid, en la cual la joven infiel es castigada por los dioses con la lepra y muere después de recibir una limosna de manos de Troilo, quien no la reconoce debido al lastimoso estado en que se encuentra.[17] En 1474, William Caxton incluyó la historia (para entonces ya enormemente popular) en su Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye.[18] Finalmente, William Shakespeare, quien, como es bien conocido, sabía «poco latín y menos griego»[19] y, por lo tanto, es casi seguro que no había leído a Homero en lengua original, utilizó estas distintas versiones inglesas como fuente para su Troilo y Crésida.[20] Homero en el islam
