This may remind us, perhaps, of the curious reference to «Alli son caños do a Elpha ençerro»
(PMC, l. 2695), which has been related to traditions concerning wood-spirits: see Gifford, esp. p. 60.

The possibility of overtones of sexual deviancy, «at least for a modern reader», was first suggested in the case of the Infantes de Carrión by Thomas R. Hart, p. 22. The psychology of the Infantes was also discussed by Ulrich Leo, «La afrenta de Corpes: novela psicológica», NRFH, 13 (1959), 291-304. The suggestion of sexual deviancy is taken up by Walker, p. 342. Tereus should appeal to anyone interested in this field since his violent attack upon Philomela is the prelude to a second sexual assault on her battered body.
