	Achilles Tatius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Achilles Tatius (in Greek Aχιλλευς Τατιος) was a Roman era Greek writer whose fame is attached to his only surviving work, the erotic romance The Adventures of Leucippe and Cleitophon.
		To this is added Achilles Tatius' use of ecphrasis: the novel opens with an admirable description of a painting of the rape of Europa, and also includes descriptions of other paintings such as Andromeda being saved by Perseus and Prometheus being liberated by Hercules.
		Achilles Tatius takes pleasure in asides and digressions on mythology and the interpretation of omens, descriptions of exotic beasts (crocodiles, hippopotami) and sights (the Nile delta, Alexandria), and discussions of amorous matters (such as kisses, or whether women or boys make better lovers).

		Achilles Tatius’ novel, which until recently has been neglected in comparison with those of Petronius, Apuleius, Longus, and Heliodorus, is now beginning to be thought of as being as sophisticated and allusive as its siblings.
		Achilles Tatius plays games with both the models of his narrative and his readers’ expectations of how he is going to treat those models.
		Homer is not the only author Achilles Tatius uses in this way, but the Homeric elements add to the highly allusive and elusive literary texture of his novel.

		If Achilles Tatius’ internal readership is in any way indicative of his actual readership, then women are likely to have been included.
		The name Achilles Tatius indicates that he was a Greek who had Roman citizenship (Achilles is a famous Greek name and Tatius and Statius are common Roman names).
		A considerable amount of Achilles Tatius is closely translated, but the crucial modification is that Hérembert starts the narrative with Clitophon’s narration (cutting all the narration of the anonymous traveller who begins Achilles’ novel, including his stunning ekphrasis of the painting of Europa).

		This paper will analyze two similes in which the ancient novelists Apuleius and Achilles Tatius play with mythological and religious imagery for both humorous effect and dramatic foreshadowing.
		The second character is Kleitophon, the protagonist of Achilles Tatius’ novel, who compares his experience to that of an initiand, “But I, like someone in a mystery ritual, knew nothing, neither who this person was nor why he was beating me”.
		In the second simile, Achilles Tatius puts Kleitophon in a mystery-like situation of violence and bafflement to which the same mythological exempla used by Apuleius may be applied.

		A fairly typical Hellenistic intellectual in most respects, Achilles Tatius lived sometime between the II and IV Centuries.
		He was probably educated in Alexandria and seems to have been interested in astronomy, philosophy, and literature.
		In the first decade of the XXI Century, a sudden interest in the "ancient Greek novel" seems to have arisen in scholarly circles, and much additional research on Achilles is doubtless in progress even now.

		Of his life nothing is known, though the Suidas says he became a Christian and a bishop and wrote a work on etymology, one on the sphere, and an account of great men.
		There are many digressions giving scientific facts, myths, meditations, and so on, the interest of which redeems irrelevance.

		Employed for different ends in the context of each work, this process has similar implications in both for the relationship between reader and author as it arises out of the former's involvement with the text.
