AB Our aim is to relate the adventures of those heroes whose travels have characterised muchGreek and Latin literature to the figure of abbot Brendan as found in a Latin rendering, theNavigatio Sancti Brendani abbatis. Since the central axis of this account is that of the monk’svoyage in search of the promised land or earthly paradise, we shall be looking at this themein another set of stories. Since the legend contains various other mythical elements, somederiving from popular tales, attention will be given to the limits among myth, legend andfolkloric tales. The main part of the work, based on the analysis of the text, will be devotedto the ways in which oral accounts are finally rendered into written form. Finally, also thefeatures defining traveller heroes, both in the classical tradition and in medieval hagiography will be studied from a thematic perspective.
