Abstract
Lucano refiere en la Farsalia (V, 505-607) el intento fallido de Julio Cesar de cruzar el Adriático con
la ayuda del barquero Amiclas. El episodio está dividido en dos partes protagonizadas una por Amiclas
y otra por César. La primera se convierte en un elogio de la vida sencilla, que contrasta con el
desasosiego en el que viven los poderosos. La segunda consiste en una afirmación de César frente a
las adversidades. Estas páginas hacen un recorrido por la trayectoria de este motivo a través de la
literatura española de los siglos XV, XVI y XVII
