Raffaele Pettazzoni and Herbert Jennings Rose, Correspondence 1927–1958. The Long Friendship between the Author and the Translator of The All-Knowing God
Sage, Saint and Sophist
Holy men, both pagan and Christian are persistent and puzzling figures in the religious life of the Roman Empire. In this first historical study of Holy Men for more than half a century, Dr Anderson applies techniques of literary analysis to throw light on the lifestyles and behaviour of these figures, from Jesus Christ to Peregrinus Proteus to dio Chrysostom, stressing their individuality as much as their common features.Sage, Saint and Sophist …
Rhetoric and the Second Sophistic
This chapter contains section titled: Narrating Performance: Philostratu's The World of the Declaimers Rhetoric Applied: Some Aspects of Fronto and Lucian Rhetoric in the Greek Novel and Apuleiu's Rhetoric at Large: The Declaimer Turns to Belles-Lettres The Power of Rhetoric, the Rhetoric of Power Rome in the Greek Rhetoric of Lucian and Aristides Conclusion
The Second Sophistic
Sophism was the single most important movement in second century literature: prose of that period came to be written as entertainment rather than confined to historical subjects. Graham Anderson shows how the Greek sophists' skills in public speaking enabled them to perform effectively across a variety of activities. As he presents the sophists' roles as civic celebrities side-by-side with their roles as transmitters of Hellenic culture and liter…
Aulus Gellius as a Storyteller
This chapter examines Gellius' narrative technique, which is that of an erudite collector of curiosities rather than a gifted storyteller. His choice of exempla or chreia-style anecdotes is often guided not by their philosophical or moral value, but by antiquarian piquance and their entertainment and titillatory value. Bookishness and antiquarianism are also prominent when he can be measured against others in well-known tales that exist elsewhere…
Lucian’s Verae Historiae
Some Uses of Storytelling in Dio
Dio of Prusa is normally studied for his role as a moralist; for his political relationships;2 and for his sophistic talents in the broadest sense. But he is rather more seldom studied for a role which any sophist might be expected to summon, as a narrator and storyteller. In view of the heightened interest in fiction in early imperial times, it seems right to look at this aspect of Dio as well. I have chosen a small group of works with substanti…

Novel-Like Works of Extended Prose Fiction I
In contrast to the writers of the five ideal romances, Lucian is well known outside his major excursion into fiction for his contribution to the world of sophistic belles-lettres and literary satire in the second century AD. Cretensis and Phrygius are the pseudonyms of the authors of two fictitious eye-witness accounts of the Trojan War who wrote in imperial times; Dictys claims to have taken part in the War on the Greek side, Dares on the Trojan…
Popular and Sophisticated in the Ancient Novel
The ancient novel has a strong claim to be regarded as part of the history of storytelling, however the latter might itself be defined. The two romantic novels closest to the popular world are unquestionably Xenophon of Ephesus' Anthia and Habrocomes and the anonymous Latin Apollonius of Tyre . In particular it can be argued that the novels of Xenophon of Ephesus and Achilles Tatius, and the Tarsiaromance that forms the latter half of Apollonius …
The Novel in the Ancient World
This is the second publication in Brill's handbook series The Classical Tradition. The subject of this volume is that group of works of extended prose narrative fiction which bears many similarities to the modern novel and which appeared in the later classical periods in Greece and Rome. The ancient novel has enjoyed renewed popularity in recent years not only among students of literature, but also among those looking for new sources on the popul…
Ancient Fiction. The Novel in the Graeco-Roman World
In addition to Longus, this work considers Achilles Tatius, Xenophon of Ephesus, Helioforus and Chariton as ancient novelists, and discusses Christian works containing a high proportion of romantic material, including Joseph and Aseneth and The Acts of Thomas

Ancient Fiction
In this book the author of Eros Sophistes hopes to afford laymen an introduction to the ancient novelist as serious artist, while to specialists he addresses technical discussions about the novel's origins and its relation to far older texts as well as about the impact of recently discovered papyri and cuneiform tablets upon our understanding of the genre's development. It is difficult to write a study which will speak simultaneously to both neop…

Lucian
Lucian is without doubt the most readily accessible of Second Sophistic authors; he exploits a wide cross-section of the movement's resources and capabilities, and he is a better advertizement for its achievements than most of its other surviving practitioners. He is also an author whose appeal is direct, and that has made it tempting to form facile judgments about him, and through him, of his age as a whole. My aim is to look briefly at several …
Simulator Simius
Claudian compares Eutropius in his consular robes to a monkey, dressed in silk to amuse dinner guests, but with his buttocks bare ( Eutr . 1.300–8). The situation has not failed to attract the notice of scholars. Christiansen and Fargues called attention to the striking and original use of the monkey-simile (though the latter notes that the monkey itself is a banal subject for similes, and compares Juvenal 10.194). Alan Cameron has suggested that…

THE rrep1 rapa.crov OCCUPIES A CURIOUS POSITION on the fringe of the Corpus Lucianeum; it is felt to be an eccentric work on a recherche subject in an uncharacteristic style.
