Roman d'Enéas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Le Roman d'Enéas is a roman of Medieval French literature, dating to ca. 1160, attributed to Benoît de Sainte-Maure. Its subject matter is the tale of Aeneas.

The author pretends to translate Virgil's Aeneid, but focusses on a love tale between Aeneas and Lavinia over some 2,000 verses. There is a free translation into Middle High German epic poetry by Heinrich von Veldeke.
