Matter of Rome
According to the
medieval
poet
Jean Bodel
, the
Matter of Rome
was the
literary cycle
made up of
Greek
and
Roman mythology
, together with episodes from the history of
classical antiquity
, focusing on military heroes like
Alexander the Great
and
Julius Caesar
. Bodel divided all the literary cycles he knew best into the
Matter of Britain
, the
Matter of France
and the Matter of Rome (although "non-cyclical"
romance
also existed). The Matter of Rome also included what is referred to as the Matter of Troy, consisting of romances and other texts based on the
Trojan War
and its aftereffects, including the adventures of
Aeneas
.
