About This Book

An academic survey reexamines long Greek prose romances, proposing revised datings and classifying four principal types (love, adventure, pastoral, satiric). It offers close readings of representative novels, analyzing narrative patterns—separation, peril, divine intervention, and eventual reunion—alongside stylistic influences, intertextual allusion, and social features of the Mediterranean world such as travel, piracy, and cult practices. Comparative chapters consider a satiric strain and the relationships between Greek romances and a later Latin novel, while prefatory and bibliographical material guides readers to recommended translations and fragments. The volume balances literary criticism, historical context, and practical guidance for readers and scholars.
