Abstract

This study gives a brief presentation of Cato’s Origines; seeks, on the basis of Tzvetan Todorov, to distinguish from the fantastic the marvellous and the uncanny genre; considers the rural and ethnographic origin of the fantastic; reflects on the relationship between verisimilitude and fantastic; and analyses the way the ancient and modern reader interpret the Catonian passages of fantastic, marvellous, or uncanny nature.
