Virgílio em uma cesta — História e Análise

Segundo a lenda, o mago Virgílio se apaixonou pela filha do imperador romano. Numa noite, ela prometeu levá-lo secretamente ao seu quarto, puxando-o em uma cesta, mas o deixou pendurado na metade do caminho para ser zombado pelos transeuntes. O conto pertence a um repertório popular de histórias dos séculos XV e XVI que ilustram a capacidade das mulheres de fazerem tolos até mesmo dos homens mais sábios.
