Abstract
The book II of the second part of Pedro Montengon’s El Antenor (1788) describes very similar circumstances to those developed by the fourth book of the Aeneid. A dowager queen, Penelope, falls in love with a hero, Antenor, who has a higher destiny to fulfill. The treatment that the author gives this situation differs substantially from Virgil, introducing elements of Stoic morality, bourgeois decorum and romantic sensibility, perfectly denoting the time of composition of this interesting novel with legendary plot and philosophical intentions.Downloads
