Achilles Tatius
Achilles Tatius' ,Leucippe and Clitophon, is the most bizarre and risquÃ© of the five Greek novels of idealized love between boy and girl that survive from the time of the Roman empire. Stretching the capacity of the genre to its limits, Achilles' narrative covers adultery, violence, disembowelment, pederasty, virginity-testing, and a conveniently happy ending. Ingenious and sophisticated in conception, ,Leucippe and Clitophon, is at once subtle, stylish, moving, brash, tasteless, and obscene. This new translation aims to capture Achilles' writing in all its exuberant variety.
