| Abstract | When he set out to compete with the classic Heliodorus in writing Persiles y Sigismunda, Cervantes used as his point of departure the narrative scheme of the old Greek novel, which had been popular in humanistic circles since the mid-sixteenth century. The traits of Cervantes' character do not merely reproduce those of the protagonist of the Greek/Byzantine narrative, but introduce some aspects that were latent in the ancient hero. Though not a completely original creation, Periando embodies specifically Cervantine characteristics, while at the same time he is transformed into the appropriate hero for the Counter-Reformation. |
