Many stories like ‘The Tale of a Youth who Set Out to Learn What Fear Was’ were part of Spain's cultural heritage (Quinquagenas, Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo, 1478–1557). Lope de Vega (1562–1635) alluded to it in two dramas (Los porceles de Murcia, c.1604–8), Quien ama no haga fiero, c.1620–2), and later Juan de Ariza wrote a story ‘Perico sin Miedo’ (1848).
