The epistle of Othea to Hector; or, The boke of knyghthode

"The Epistle of Othea to Hector; or, The Boke of Knyghthode" by Christine de Pisan is a special book from the late 1300s to early 1400s that uses stories and symbols to teach important lessons. The main idea is about being a good knight, with a focus on having good character instead of just being a strong fighter. The story begins with Othea, who is like a goddess of wisdom, talking to Hector, a famous warrior. She tells him that even though he's done great things, he needs to keep learning and becoming a better person, especially as he gets older. Othea advises him to turn his strength into doing good and guides him with lessons from old stories and ideas. She teaches Hector, through a hundred verses and explanations, about the main qualities of a good person, and how to be a true knight, which leads to talking about what it really means to be honorable and morally strong.
