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)
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.
