Shining castles and humans of metal/floral appearance – metaphorical language in the Palaiologan romances Kallimachos and Velthandros
Publication . Fonseca, Rui Carlos
About eight centuries after Heliodorus, the Greek novel resurfaced in the twelfth
century, in Komnenian Byzantium, and again two centuries later under the Palaiologan dynasty. This
latter literary revival was due to the political stability of the imperial Byzantine government, which
promoted cultural production, rhetorical education, and patronage networks. Kallimachos and
Velthandros, two Palaiologan romances presented as court literature, combine ancient and medieval
tropes with rhetorical artistry to blur the boundaries between the artificial and the natural. Castles and
objects made of precious metals thus resemble living, natural spaces, and human characters are
portrayed in metallurgical, anthomorphic, and zoomorphic terms.
The ring, the gown, and the apple: the role of magical objects in the Byzantine vernacular romance Kallimachos and Chrysorroi
Publication . Fonseca, Rui Carlos
Magical objects play an important role in the fourteenth-century Byzantine vernacular
romance Kallimachos and Chrysorroi, not due to their supernatural powers, but rather
in order to make the chivalric status of the romance hero stand out, inasmuch as he
does not resort to any of them to achieve his goals.
