CHARITON |
of Aphrodisias in Phrygia. The assumed Daine of the author of a Greek romance in eight books, on the fortunes of Chaereas and Callirrhoe. He was a Christian, probably of the 4th century A.D. His treatment of the story is simple, but full of life and movement; the narrative is easy and flowing, the language on the whole natural and unadorned. |
