RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 La imagen del heroe medieval castellano. El Cid: entre la historia, la leyenda y el mito A1 Payo Hernanz, René Jesús K1 Cid K1 historia K1 leyenda K1 mito AB Few figures have reached such a projection on Spanish history as that of don Rodrigo Díazde Vivar. This character underwent a series of changes and new dimensions that turnedhim into one of the defining elements of the Hispanic being, and as such he has been usedsince days gone by as an example of the essential virtues of Castile and Spain. But thisconstant use was enacted much more on the figure of don Rodrigo shaped as legendary andmythical than on the real historical Cid, the profiles of whom remained blurred so that newstrong features could be added to the collective imagination.
