Proteus and the Pursuit of Cupid: The Final Poem of Nicolas Brizard’s Metamorphoses Amoris (1556)
Allusions and Reflections. Greek and Roman Mythology in Renaissance Europe (2015)
  • John A Nassichuk
Abstract
Brizard's copious, Latin amplification of the Protean metamorphosis motif serves as a veritable locus of textual accommodation, inscribing the celebrated late-mediaeval and early humanist meditation on the fragility of life into a rewriting of the classical theme of transformation that takes its origin in Homer.
