Abstract
The allegorical glosses of Arnulf of Orléans and Johannes of Garland are the basis of chapters 468, 475, and 476 of the General estoria II, in which Alfonso X develops his interpretation of the Ovidian myths relating to the story of Medea. After identifying the sources of the Medea section used by Alfonso X, the motives for their inclusion in the interpretive chapters will be examined based on commentaries on the Metamorphoses by these two Latino-Medieval authors.
