Tententen

Another name for Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron

Since the Decameron has the Greek word for the number ten (δέκα) in its name, and in the work itself there are ten people, each of whom tells a story each of the ten days spent in their final place, I made up a new name for this famous piece. It’s Tententen.
