The papers assembled in this volume explore a relatively new area
in scholarship on the ancient novel: the relationship between an
ostensibly non-philosophical genre and philosophy. This approach
opens up several original themes for further research and debate.
Platonising fiction was popular in the Second Sophistic and it took
a variety of forms, ranging from the intertextual to the
allegorical, and discussions of the origins of the novel-genre in
antiquity have centred on the role of Socratic dialogue in general
and Plato's dialogues in particular as important precursors. The
papers in this collection cover a variety of genres, ranging from
the Greek and Roman novels to utopian narratives and fictional
biographies, and seek by diverse methods to detect philosophical
resonances in these texts.
