Chariton of Aphrodisias and the Invention of the Greek Love Novel
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.

The Representation of Speech Events in Chariton’s Callirhoe and the Acts of the Apostles
