 Callirhoe - Chariton
But things aren't quite so simple: not knowing who she is to be wed to Callirhoe is terribly depressed ("she nearly expired") before she sees that it is her beloved Chaereas she is to be united with.
Callirhoe's many disappointed suitors gang up to try divide the couple, and eventually their malicious efforts have some success: misled, angry Chaereas kicks his wife as she runs to embrace him, a blow to the diaphragm (yes, the διαφράγματος) knocking the wind and -- so it seems -- more out of her.
Events move deep inland, across the Euphrates, and it is at Babylon, at a trial surrounding Callirhoe (more men in her life fighting over her) that she and Chaereas are reunited.

 ICAN 2000 Paper Dr. Jean Alvares
For example, Chariton’s Callirhoe is compared to, and mistaken for, a goddess; thus Dionysios, suspicious of her real identity, informs Leonas that "historians and poets tell us that divine beings are compelled to associate with mortals," and, later, Chaireas and Dionysios imagine some god has abducted or tried to seduce Callirhoe.
This is undertaken in the persons of Chaireas and especially Callirhoe as they labor to safeguard their fidelity and moral purity.
Considering Callirhoe’s status as the avatar of Aphrodite, a fundamental power that can even overrule Tyche, on an archetypal level Chaireas returns to Syracuse not only having attained heroic honor through his deeds, but having been thoroughly converted into a faith which he had earlier held imperfectly.

Callirhoe is lavishly buried in a state funeral.
Callirhoe remains faithful to Chaireas, but then discovers that she is pregnant.
Her choice is either to abort the child, bear it and have Dionysios destroy it, or to marry Dionysios and persuade him that the child is his.

 Bibliography
The idea of “erotic suffering” is defined by Heiserman as the beauty and desirability of Callirhoe that places her in positions where she is ethically in peril of betraying her standards.
The tension is enjoyable as the reader wonders at the “erotic suffering” caused by the struggle between Callirhoe’s unsurpassed beauty and her desire to remain faithful to Chaereas.
Plangon, the female slave, goes to Dionysius to explain how Callirhoe would marry him if he would have a wife and a child, but adds her own interpretation of Callirhoe’s answer by telling Dionysius that if forced to be a concubine, Callirhoe will kill herself out of dignity for her lineage.

 Art Bulletin, The: L'affaire Greuze and the sublime of history painting
The ethereal haziness of Fragonard's treatment seems to encourage an intentional confusion between the two; his picture may depict the hallucinatory vision of what is to come, or it may be the actual event of Coresus's self-sacrifice.
The narrative double-sidedness of Coresus and Callirhoe is much less artificial than Greuze's attempt to signify through a forced correspondence between Septimius's spoken challenge and the overwrought gestures and facial expressions to which he must resort.
The temporally double-sided image incidental to the story and emphasized by Fragonard's narrative approach prompts a more natural reconstruction of events, which is abundantly registered in Diderot's extensive textual re-creation of the tragedy.

 Coresus Sacrificing himselt to Save Callirhoe by FRAGONARD, Jean-Honoré
When Fragonard tackled the history picture - a rare occasion - it, like his other paintings, was animated by love.
The large Corésus sacrificing himself to save Callirhoé, shown at the Salon of 1765, is Fragonard's effort to combine his own tendencies with academic requirements.
It is not surprising that he exhibited there only once afterwards; this sort of machine was replaced by brilliant, witty decorations, positive riots of cupids and bathers, kissing lips and torn clothes, which always express love in action.
