Bücher von R. L. Hunter

This book seeks both to offer analysis and to place the quest for the Golden Fleece within its social and intellectual context in Hellenistic Alexandria.

This 1983 book provides a serious modern literary treatment of perhaps the best known of all surviving works of ancient Greek fiction. Dr Hunter demonstrates the sophistication of this pastoral romance, a sophistication which he maintains has often been assumed but never properly discussed. Evidence for the identity of the author and the date of composition are also considered.
