Leucippe and Clitophon

Achilles Tatius

3.67/5 (305 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

Achilles Tatius' Leucippe and Clitophon is the most bizarre and risqué 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.
