f De la Ilíada a Ein Hübsche Histori: Panorámica de la materia troyana en Europa

The history of the Troy Matter in Europe is characterised, on the one hand, by the continuous criticism to Homer and, on the other hand, by the appearance of a series of works which exerted an extraordinary influence beyond geographical and linguistic bounds. In this article I intend to present a brief outlook of the Troy Matter covering from the Iliad to the earliest days of the art of the printing, paying special attention to the authors who wrote about the Troyan War, and whose influence has been strongest throughout the centuries, like Dares Phrygius, Dictys Cretensis, Benoît de Sainte Maure or Guido de Columnis. This article will also deal with the main works of the Troy Matter in Spain.
