| XENOPHON | |
| A Greek romance-writer of Ephesus, who composed towards the end of the 2nd century A.D. his Ephesian Stories, in five books, which in a light and simple style describe the adventures of a young couple named Atheia and Abrocomes. It has frequently served as a model for later romance-writers, especially for Chariton, and apparently also for Heliodorus. | |
