Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Yde et Olive (Eed-eh-Oh-LEEV), sometimes spelled Ide et Olive, is a thirteenth-century chanson de geste written in decasyllabic assonanced (monorhyming) laisses in a Picard-influenced dialect of Old French. It is one episode in a cycle of sequels to Huon de Bordeaux that follow various members of Huon's family. Sometimes titled La Chason d'Yde et Olive by editors, the episode follows La Chanson d'Esclarmonde, the story of Huon's wife and Yde's grandmother, and La Chason de Clarisse et Florent, the story of Yde's parents. Yde et Olive is punctuated by a poem titled Croissant, which tells the story of Yde and Olive's son. Yde's story resumes after this interlude and is usually edited as Yde et Olive II. Caroline Cazanave's quintessential book on the Huon de Bordeaux Sequel Cycle contains an extensive discussion of the text and the manuscript tradition. Some scholars believe it to be the earliest Old French adaptation of the myth of Iphis in Ovid's Metamorphoses though other scholars have questioned whether it is anything more than coincidentally similar to this ancient cognate. Likewise, it has been postulated that the story was worked into dramatic form in the Miracle de la fille d'un roy (1454), but some scholars have also rejected this hypothesis, claiming that the transference of the motif of a cross-dressing heroine escaping her father's incestuous desires results from oral tradition rather than direct textual influence. The play does not significantly deviate from the chanson except in its finale where the heroine Ysabelle's true sex is discovered at the end, where she restored to womanhood and married to the king instead of remaining married to his daughter. This ending recalls that of Le Roman de Silence.
