Gaselee, S. (ed.)
Descrizione Ristampa / Reprint 1969. "The Loeb classical library" - Volume rilegato in tela editoriale verde con titolo in oro al dorso, sovraccoperta usurata con restauri, xvi-462 pagine con testo greco a fronte; traduzione inglese di S. Gaselee. Una firma in apertura, peraltro buona-ottima copia dalla paginazione pulita e compatta -- Achilles Tatius was a Greek of Alexandria in Egypt whose date is uncertain. Of his life nothing is known, though 'Suidas' says he became a Christian and a bishop and wrote a work of etymology, one on the sphere, and a mixed narration about many great men. He is famopus hoewver for his surviving novel in eight books "The Adventures of Leucippe and Clitophon", one of the best Greek love-stories. Clitophon relates to a friend the various difficulties which he and Leucippe had to overcome before they are happily united. The story is full of incident and readers are kept in suspense. There are many digressions giving scientific facts, myths, meditations, and so on, the interest of which redeems irrelevance.
