THE WESTERN CANON

—“According to the medieval poet Jean Bodel, the Matter of Rome was the literary cycle made up of Greek and Roman mythology, together with episodes from the history of classical antiquity, focusing on military heroes like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar.

…

The Matter of Rome also included what is referred to as the Matter of Troy, consisting of romances and other texts based on the Trojan War and its aftereffects, including the adventures of Aeneas.”—

—“Bodel divided all the literary cycles he knew best into the Matter of Britain, the Matter of France and the Matter of Rome (although “non-cyclical” romance also existed). “—

This is the same organization that victorians used, but added german and norse.
