Greek Fiction

Callirhoe, Daphnis And Chloe, Letters Of Chion




In this collection of Greek fiction written between the first and fourth centuries AD, 'Callirhoe' is the stirring tale of star-crossed lovers Chaereas and Callirhoe, torn apart when she is kidnapped and sold as a slave, while 'Daphnis and Chloe' tells of a boy and girl abandoned at birth, who grow up to fall in love and battle pirates. Greek Fiction - also containing 'Letters of Chion', an early thriller about tyranny and a political assassination - is a fascinating glimpse into an alternative view of Ancient Greece's literary culture.

About the authors

Anonymus

Born in the north of England, the author of THE BOY WHO SAW TRUE chose to remain anonymous and would only allow his diary to appear several years after his death, with the stipulation that the original spellings were to remain and some of the names be changed.
His editor Cyril Scott enjoyed a two-fold career as a musical composer and a writer on the occult and other related matters.
