Sumario:Jane Chance focuses on the advent of hybrid mythography in the Middle Ages as a form of commentary in vernacular poetry and, alternatively, as restyled and reformatted Latin prose commentary that reflects allegorical authorial self-projection. The complexity of mythography leads to the compilation of myths unified by traditional means - genealogy and history - but also by new means, a focus on a seminal progenitor or epic hero or imaginary goddess who reflects a humanist ideal.
