CHAPTER XI REVIEW AND CONCLUSIONS 'HERE are, therefore, only two named per sons of real importance in literature who are known as the Swan-Knight, Lohengrin and Helyas; and it is an interesting fact that, so far as we can judge from the evidence at hand, they seem to have made their appearance very close to the same period. Lohengrin comes into the literary horizon in connection with one of the great works of German literature; and by reason of his association with that wonderful poem, our attention is attracted and our admiration is kindled. Moreover, the date of the poem can be fixed within close limits. Helyas, on the other hand, seems to creep into view quietly and even mysteriously, and under circumstances which make very difficult the task of assigning an exact date. His creator is unknown, and the story of his adventures would not of itself command special attention were it not for the connection established with the life of Godfrey of Bouillon, his reputed grandson. In fact, as one writer has said, Helyas owes his life entirely to his illustrious descendant. We have noted in Chapter III. the considerations which seem to indicate that the Swan-Knight story in Wolfram's Parzival was an original contribution by the author of that poem, and that the identification of Lohengrin with the hero of the legend was not taken from any earlier work. It has been claimed that Gerbert's "continuation" of Chretien's unfinished poem Perceval le Gallois shows indications of the use of an earlier form of the Perceval story, which may have been used also by Wolfram, and may have included a reference to the Swan-Knight legend. The discussion on this point is irrelevant to our present subject except in so far as it might reveal traces of a...
