Greek Fiction: Callirhoe, Daphnis and Chloe, Letters of Chion
Description
Details
By Chariton, Longus and AnonymousEdited with an introduction and notes by Helen Morales
'Callirhoe' is the stirring tale of star-crossed lovers Chaereas and Callirhoe, torn apart when she is kidnapped and sold as a slave, while 'Daphnis and Chloe' tells of a boy and girl abandoned at birth, who grow up to fall in love and battle pirates. Greek Fiction - also containing 'Letters of Chion', an early thriller about tyranny and a political assassination - is a fascinating glimpse into an alternative view of Ancient Greece's literary culture.
