Meroveo, Basina e il mito dinastico dei Franchi
Keywords:
Merovingians, origines gentium, legendary history, Fredegar, Franks
Abstract
Nowadays the passages relating to the origins of the Merovingian dynasty interpolated by Pseudo-Fredegar into his version of Gregory of Tours’s Historia Francorum are mostly considered worthless fables. Nevertheless, they are truly interesting, particularly those concerning the legend that links Merovech’s birth to a mysterious bistea Neptuni quinotauri similis, and the puzzling story of Basina, Childerich’s Thuringian wife. The present essay aims at providing a new interpretation of these passages, appreciating them at their true value: as fragments of ancient legendary history, a mosaic, as it were, composed by actual historical records, old myths, and forgotten literature.
