Parthenope: Studies In Ancient Greek Fiction: Selected Studies In Ancient Greek Tomas Hagg 1:a utgåva

This collection of studies is a sequel to Hägg´s popular survey, ´The Novel in Antiquity´ (1983), and a companion volume to his recent ´The Virgin and her Lover´ (with B. Utas, 2003). Parthenope offers an indexed version of his main contributions in the field, especially from the 1980s and 1990s, as well as previously unpublished work, a new introduction and a complete bibliography of the author. Apart from probing further into the literary world of Chariton, Xenophon, and Heliodoros, Hägg also widens the scope with studies on the ´Lives of Aesop´ and ´Apollonios of Tyana´ and on the oriental reception of the Greek novel.
Tomas Hägg is professor of Classical Philology at the University of Bergen.
