Description
Romance, pirates, getting buried alive: Ancient Greek novels had it all! Just as today, novels were vastly popular among the readers of antiquity, and they offer us unique glimpses into the thoughts and lives of the ancients. In this class we will read and discuss in Ancient Greek the novel “Callirrhoe” by Chariton of Aphrodisias:
Callirrhoe is a beautiful young woman living in Sicily. Everybody admires her but through some evil intrigue she gets kidnapped and brought as a slave to Miletus: Will she ever find her way back home? Let’s find out in this class!
