Topic: Erec


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Erec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Erec, the son of King Lac, is a Knight of the Round Table in Arthurian legend.
Because of Erec and Enide‘s relationship to the Welsh Geraint and Enid, Erec and Geraint are often conflated or confused.
Enide cries about these rumors, causing Erec to doubt her love, and he has her go on a long, torturous trip with him where she is forbidden to speak to him.

 Erec et Enide: Part II: Vv. 2293 - Vv. 4579
Erec took a seat opposite, on the figure of a leopard which was portrayed on the rug.
Erec exerts himself and strives; he brought his sword down upon his enemy's helmet, cleaving it to the inner lining of mail and making him stagger; but he stood firmly and did not fall.
Erec is simply angry with himself, but he expends his wrath upon his defenceless wife until he is reassured of her love and respect for him.

 Four Arthurian Romances - Erec Et Enide
Erec steadily follows the knight who was armed and the dwarf who had struck him until they come to a well placed town, strong and fine (5).
Erec, for his part, was amazed when he beheld such beauty in her, and the vavasor said to her: "Fair daughter dear, take this horse and lead him to the stable along with my own horses.
When Erec had listened to all that his host told him, he asked him to inform him whence came all the chivalry that was quartered in the town.

 Erec et Enide: Introduction
"Erec" is the oldest Arthurinn romance to have survived in any language, but it is almost certainly not the first to have been written.
The psychological analysis of Erec's motives in the rude testing of Enide is worthy of attention, and is more subtle than anything previous in French literature with which we are acquainted.
The poem is an episodical romance in the biography of an Arthurinn hero, with the usual amount of space given to his adventures.

 [No title]
Erec grabs him by the helmet and forcibly drags it from his head, and unlaces the ventail, so that his head and face are completely exposed.
At Erec's side the Count sat down, and the damsel with her radiant face, who was feeding the much disputed hawk upon her wrist with a plover's wing.
Erec did not wish to stop to capture either horse or rider, but rather to joust and distinguish himself in order that his prowess might appear.

 Erec et Enide: Part III
Erec went riding, lance in rest, into the middle of the garden, greatly delighting in the song of the birds which were singing there; they put him in mind of his Joy the thing he most was longing for.
Erec could boast that day, for never was such rejoicing made; it could not be described or related by mouth of man, but I will tell you the sum of it briefly and with few words.
Erec was well sated with joy and well served to his heart's desire; but she who sat on the silver couch was not a bit pleased.

 Enide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She is Erec's wife in Chrétien de Troyes' Erec and Enide, and Geraint's in the Welsh Romance Geraint and Enid, analogous to Chrétien's version.
Enide and Geraint/Erec meet while the hero is on a mission to defeat a cruel knight, and her family provides him with armor and food.

Yder, the knight, was then told by Erec that he must place himself at Queen Guinevere's mercy and he must remain her prisoner.

 Erec and Enide
Erec and Enide is the story of the quest and coming of age of a young knight, an illustrious member of Arthur's court, who must learn to balance the demands of a masculine public life--tests of courage, skill, adaptability, and mature judgment--with the equally urgent demands of the private world of love and marriage.
We see his wife, Enide, develop as an exemplar of chivalry in the female, not as an Amazon, but as a brave, resolute, and wise woman.
In choosing to write in rhymed octosyllabic couplets-Chrétien's prosodic pattern-Dorothy Gilbert has tried to reproduce what so often gets lost in prose or free verse translations: the precise and delicate meter; the rhyme, with its rich possibilities for emphasis, nuance, puns and jokes; and the "mantic power" implicit in proper names.
