Project description
This research project is positioned on the intersection of ancient novels and biographies, two extremely and cross-culturally influential genres from (late) Antiquity. It aims to address longstanding questions of the literary nature, background and readership by adopting an innovative approach: the analysis of the construction of apheleia in novelistic and biographical narrative.
