| Summary | "L'Ystoire de Eurialus et Lucresse, vrays amoureux, selon pape Pie" by Pope Pius II is a romantic narrative written in the late 15th century. The work centers around the tragic love story of Eurialus and Lucresse, exploring themes of desire, loyalty, and honor within the context of their respective relationships. The narrative is steeped in classical references and offers a blend of historical and mythical elements, indicative of the Renaissance's fascination with both love and literature. At the start of the tale, the framework is established with praise directed towards the ruling monarch, Charles VIII of France, as the author discusses the nature of love and its accompanying emotions. The narrative introduces Lucresse, depicted as exceptionally beautiful and desirable, and Eurialus, a noble and virtuous young knight. Their attraction to one another unfolds amidst their existing relationships, setting the stage for the emotional turmoil and moral dilemmas that will arise as their infatuation intensifies. The opening passages hint at the complications that love can bring, foreshadowing a deep exploration of fidelity and desire. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
