Abstract

This paper studies the incorporation of Longo’s Daphnis and Chloe in the Damasio de Frías’ Lidamarte de Armenia. The analysis of their differences and correspondences, interpolations and attenuations clarifies the narrative and ideological motivations for the recreation of this Greek novel, whose idealistic and erotic frame is greatly reduced.
