Ancient Love Letters: Form, Themes, Approaches
Chapter 8 Philostratus’ Erotic Epistles and Latin Elegy Revisited
Insights from the Tony Harrison Archive
The Tony Harrison archive in Special Collections at the Brotherton Library, University of Leeds, is a vast and rich resource whose surface scholarship has only scratched. Classical Reception Studies scholars can view in action some processes of Harrison’s reception of ancient texts, in translations and new works of reception alike. The chapter describes the collection and explores its significance for Reception Studies before focusing on a domina…
Hymnic Narrative and the Narratology of Greek Hymns
Ancient Greek hymns traditionally include a narrative section describing episodes from the hymned deity’s life. These narratives developed in parallel with epic and other narrative genres, and their study provides a different perspective on ancient Greek narrative. Within the hymn genre, the place and function of the narrative section changed over time and with different kinds of hymn (literary or cultic; religious, philosophical or magical). Hym…
Narrative Technique and Generic Hybridity in Aelius Aristides’ Prose Hymns
Epistolary Narratives in Ancient Greek Literature
Epistolary Narratives presents detailed literary readings of a wide range of Greek literary letter collections across a range of genres, cultural backgrounds, and time periods, leading collectively towards a better appreciation of Greek epistolary collections as a unique literary phenomenon
Epistolarity and Narrative in ps.-Aeschines Epistle 10

Epistle 10 is essentially a short story or novella in epistolary form. Given the nature of the text and its location buried within the corpus of pseudo-Aeschinean Epistles , very little attention has been given to this little story, so the issues to consi…
Philostrati
The family of sophists named Philostratus (second to third centuries CE ) contributed the most significant literary output of their time: one of their number defined the era, coining the label “Second Sophistic” (for a literary movement: VS 481; see Sophists, Roman Empire).
Better than Speech: Some Advantages of the Letter in the Second Sophistic
This chapter suggests some ways of thinking about the epistolary genre and its development in Greek literature, focusing on some particular examples from ‘Second Sophistic’ epistolographers who built upon and added to these developments. Taking examples from fictional letters in which there seems to be no obstacle to verbal communication, this chapter argues that they do not constitute lapses in verisimilitude on the author's part; rather, such l…
