First published in 1994. Greek fiction has never been more popular. New approaches to ancient literature, and new courses in literature in translation, have made the ancient novel a fertile field for scholar and student alike. This volume extends the boundaries of the subject beyond the 'canon' of the romances properly called and examines Greek fictional writing in the widest possible context, including texts that are not normally treated as novels, such as various kinds of sacred or quasi-historical texts. The editors hope to open up the definition of Greek fiction to further debate and to create cross-currents between scholars working in diverse fields.
John Morgan is Lecturer in Classics at University College, Swansea. He has published extensively on ancient fiction. Richard Stoneman is a writer specialising in Greek history, culture and travel. He is the author of the Penguin translation of the Greek Alexander Romance.
