Product Description
In this collection of Greek fiction written between the first and fourth centuries AD, ''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.
