From the supplier: This article examines Giovanni Boccaccio's 'De Casibus Virorum Illustrium' and its discussion of Priam's fall from fortune in the two Homeric epics, focusing on its management of moral balance. The author suggests that Boccaccio did not have direct access to Greek literature when he wrote his treatise, which exists in two versions composed at different times. The portrayal of shipwrecks in Boccaccio and other earlier and contemporary writers is analyzed, and the possible influence of short mock epic attributed to a youthful Virgil, the 'Culex' is addressed.
