Greek Fiction: Callirhoe/Daphnis and Chloe/Letters of Chion

By Longus and Chariton

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.
