Guido delle Colonne Books

Guido delle Colonne, a Sicilian author of the early 13th century, is celebrated for his Latin prose narrative, the "Historia Destructionis Troiae." This work retells the story of the Trojan War, drawing inspiration from classical sources, and became a significant text in its time. While also recognized for his poetry in the vernacular, Guido's enduring legacy is most strongly tied to his compelling rendition of the Trojan myth. His narrative approach and thematic focus mark him as a notable voice of the medieval period.
