ROJAS ALVAREZ, Lourdes. La novela griega: en busca de lo maravilloso y extraordinario. Nova tellus [online]. 2009, vol.27, n.1, pp.229-245. ISSN 0185-3058.
The present communication deals with the presence of the marvelous and extraordinary in the Greek romances, classified as erotic. We include a brief survey of the different types of romances, and the relationship that literature has with the society in which it is produced. Then we treat the matter of innovation as a component of literary pieces, as an influence of the Second Sophistic. In the erotic romance the originality of each one is based on the confection of adventures where the author inserts all kind of elements, including those of an extraordinary (paradoxon) character. We exemplify with passages of the works of Longus, Achilles Tatius and Xenophon Ephesius.
