Popular in the Renaissance  these stories have been less familiar in later centuries. Translations of the Greek stories were not readily available in English before B.P. Reardons excellent volume.Nine complete stories are included here as well as ten others  encompassing the whole range of classical ideal romance  travel adventure  historical fiction  and comic parody. A new foreword by J.R. Morgan examines the enormous impact this groundbreaking collection has had on our understanding of classical thought and our concept of the novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279691145269,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520043065","price":41.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520043060.jpg?v=1780606582","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/collected-ancient-greek-novels-9780520043060","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
