A 12th-century French author and historian. Dates of birth and death unknown. Born in Touraine. Around 1165-70, he achieved great success with his long verse work, Roman de Troie, which belongs to the genre of so-called imitation tales of antiquity. It tells the story of the adventures of the Argo ship (the legend of the Argonauts) in search of the Golden Fleece, the siege and fall of the city of Troy, and the death of Odysseus, in over 30,000 eight-syllable lines. The main sources were Latin works attributed to Dares the Phrygian and Dictys the Cretan, but Benoist showed particular talent in expanding on love stories, and this work is considered one of the first love stories in French literature.

12世紀フランスの作家,歴史家。生没年不詳。トゥーレーヌ地方の出身。1165‐70年ころ,いわゆる古代模倣物語のジャンルに属する長編韻文作品《トロイ物語Roman de Troie》を書いて大成功を収めた。これは,金羊毛を求めるアルゴ船の冒険(アルゴナウタイ伝説)から始まって,トロイアの城市の攻囲と陥落の次第,そしてオデュッセウスの死までを,8音綴3万行余りにわたって物語る。主たる種本はフリュギア人ダレス,クレタ人ディクテュスに帰せられるいずれもラテン語の作品であるが,ブノアはとくに恋愛のエピソードをふくらませることに才能を示し,この作品はフランス文学における恋愛物語のさきがけの一つとされている。
