"Los Meses is an interesting epic poem by Viera y Clavijo, make up of 3106 hendecasyllabic verses that are distributed in twelve parts: the twelve months of the year. In it, Viera y Clavijo weaves a perfect spider's web in which the names of characters from mythology and from the legends of the Greek and Roman world are entangled, with a rigorous literary care, with numerous knowledges of the time, converting, in this way, its composition in a veritable didactic mini-encyclopedia, full of technicalities and specialized knowledge on many subjects."
