The best known variety of the ancient novel - sometimes identified
with the ancient novel tout court - is the Greek love novel. The
question of its origins has intrigued scholars for centuries and
has been the focus of a great deal of research. Stefan Tilg
proposes a new solution to this ancient puzzle by arguing for a
personal inventor of the genre, Chariton of Aphrodisias, who wrote
the first Greek (and, with that, the first European) love novel,
Narratives about Callirhoe, in the mid-first century AD. Tilg's
conclusion is drawn on the basis of two converging lines of
argument, one from literary history, another from Chariton's
poetics, and will shed fresh light upon the reception of Latin
literature in the Greek world.
