Resumo

espanolDesde la primera mitad del s. XVI (o quizas desde antes, como podriamos especular a proposito del estilo de Incendio de Roma), se componen en Espana romances eruditos basandose en textos historicos, en especial en cronicas medievales de la antiguedad grecolatina y en la Biblia. Paralelamente a las formas heroico-historicas, aparecen romances de temas y personajes mitologicos, que, desde el punto de vista didactico, son por otra parte excelente medio de articulacion entre las catedras de Literaturas Grecolatina y Medieval. Este articulo sintetiza primero la busqueda de romances cuyas historias pertenecen a la mitologia griega y se concentra luego en una inolvidable pareja de enamorados, Leandro y Hero para comparar, en primer lugar, el epilio heredado de Museo (s. V-VI) con los tres medievales que hemos encontrado y finalmente, estos poemas posteriores entre si. EnglishSince the first half of the XVI century (or maybe earlier, as it might be assumed from the style of Rome's fire), cultured romances are composed in Spain on the basis of historical texts, specially on medieval chronicles about ancient Greece and Rome and the Bible. Along with the heroic-historical forms, there appear romances of mythological themes and characters. From the didactic point of view, they also constitute an excellent means of articulation among the Classical and Medieval Literatures courses. This article basically synthesizes the search for romances whose stories belong to the Greek mythology and then focuses on an unforgettable couple of lovers, Hero and Leander, to compare first, the epyllion inherited from Musaeus (5th/6th cent. AD) with the three medieval texts we have found, and finally these three latter poems one with each other.
