by G . W . Bowersock (Editor), Arnaldo Momigliano (Author), T.J.Cornell (Editor)
Using pagan prose fiction produced in Greek and Latin during the early Christian era, this book investigates the complex relationship among perceived and presented 'historical' and 'fictional' truths. It illuminates social attitudes of the period and argues that fiction of the period was influenced by the emerging Christian Gospel narratives.
