Students will read substantial portions of Lucian's A True History, Chariton's Chaereas and Callirhoe, and Longus' Daphnis and Chloe in Greek. To fill out our picture of the literary landscape we will read selections from other ancient novels in English translation. Some secondary readings will be assigned.
