“…THESE LYING FAIRY TALES…”. ON THE DISPLAY OF HISTORY IN 17TH-CENTURY TALK LITERATURE; THE CASE OF “THE STORY OF THE FALL OF TROAD”

Summary/Abstract: One of the most interesting aspects of our old popular literature is the emergence of the so-called "courtly" romances, which originated in France in the 12th century. An important production of the "courtly" romances that entered our literature is the epic known as the Roman de Troie. The romance is preserved in manuscript no. 2183 of the Library of the Romanian Academy, without a title and without a beginning. The book is known among the people as "Istoria căderii Troadei (The History of the Fall of Troy)". Its theme consists of the struggles and adventures unfolding under the walls of Troy, as well as the tragic fate of the Greek heroes after their return from Troy. However, "Istoria Troadei" contains a version of the Trojan myth that differs from the Homeric one.
