The Renaissance of Cremutius Cordus
The Novel World of Cassius Dio
This article surveys intersections between characteristics of Greek novelistic fiction and Cassius Dio’s Roman History, including ethnogeography, rhetorical set-pieces, archetypal characterization and mirabilia.

This essay argues that representations of jellyfish in the work of modernist poet and novelist H.

Dio …
