Zusammenfassung
During the eleventh century, as attested by the poetics of Godfried of Rheims or by the anonymous poem De nuptiis, poetry was considered as the supreme way of knowledge, as it was the case in certain milieus throughout the Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. In this regard, the matter of Troy was elevated to the highest poetic rank and those poets dealing with the Trojan imaginary are seen as "alter Homerus" or "alter Orpheus", that is, representatives of the supreme wisdom.
