Questions about the origin of the Greek love novel - itself the precursor of the love novel in Europe - have intrigued scholars for centuries. Stefan Tilg proposes a new solution to this ancient puzzle by arguing for a personal inventor of the genre, Chariton of Aphrodisias, whose Narratives about Callirhoe, dates from the mid-first century AD. INDICE: 1: Introduction; 2: Chariton of Aphrodisias; 3: Other Early Novelists; 4: Novel Poetics; 5: Novelty; 6: Narrative; 7: Rumour; 8: Virgil; 9: Conclusion
