# Troilus and Criseyde

By Geoffrey Chaucer.

"Troilus and Criseyde" by Geoffrey Chaucer is an epic poem written in the mid-1380s. Set during the siege of Troy, it tells the tragic love story of Troilus, a Trojan prince, and Criseyde, daughter of a prophet who has fled to the Greeks. With help from Criseyde's cunning uncle Pandarus, the lovers unite—but war intervenes when Criseyde must be exchanged for a prisoner. Separated and uncertain, their devotion faces its ultimate test in the Greek camp. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
