Teseida is a long epic poem written by Giovanni Boccaccio c.1340–41. Running to almost 10,000 lines divided into twelve books, its notional subject is the career and rule of Theseus (Teseo), though it tells the story of the rivalry of the love of Palemone and Arcita for the love of Emilia at considerable length. It is the main source of "The Knight's Tale" in Geoffrey Chaucer's the Canterbury Tales.
