Achilles Tatius

Broschiertes Buch

Leucippe and Clitophon

Beschreibung

Leucippe and Clitophon, composed in the second century AD, is the most bizarre and risquà of the five 'Greek novels' of idealized love between boy and girl that survive from the period of the Roman empire. Achilles' narrative covers adultery, violence, evisceration, pederasty and virginity-testing and in execution is subtle, stylish, moving, brash, tasteless, and obscene.
