Cligès is a poem by Chrétien de Troyes, and is the second of his five Arthurian Romances. It tells of the knight Cligès and his love for his uncle's wife, Fenice. Because of the story's de-romanticized depiction of adultery, it has been called a criticism or parody of the Tristan and Iseult romances. The story in Cligès can be understood by dividing it into two parts. The first story consists of Cligès's father's adventures and the second story consists of Cligès's adventures.
