Spanish, Provençal, French, and English, but also into German, Danish, Swedish, Dutch, and mediaeval Greek. It found its way into cyclopaedias of mediaeval learning like Godfrey de Viterbo’s *Pantheon* (c. 1186), and into the popular collection of stories, *Gesta Romanorum*, in which it figured from the fourteenth century onwards. A version was included in Belleforest’s *Histoires tragiques* (t. vii, Histoire cxviii, pp. 113–206, 1604), a French compendium of popular fiction which had an universal vogue; it was there described as ‘une histoire tirée du grec’.
