	Xenophon of Ephesus: Ephesian Tale (University of Saskatchewan)
		Xenophon of Ephesus: Ephesian Tale (University of Saskatchewan)
		So far as structure goes, the tale has none: Xenophon presents a shaggy dog story of loosely connected incidents and episodes that could, in theory, be expanded ad infinitum — particularly given that the author is not one to baulk at reusing a convenient plot device.
		The interest in their tales generally lies, not in the protagonists themselves (who are, for the most part, rather blandly tedious in their virtue), but in the exciting, colorful, and exotic incidents that make up their stories.

	Summary of Decameron tales Information
		The beginning of the tale is first recorded in about 1228 by Courtois d'Arrass in his "Boivin de Provins." The portion of Andreuccio being trapped in the tomb of the archbishop and how he escapes comes from the Ephesian Tale by Xenophon of Ephesus, which was written in about 150 AD.
		That portion of the tale is so memorable that it was still being told as a true story in the cities and countryside of Europe in the early twentieth century.
		However, Boccaccio's version is unique in that the husband in the tale preserves both his honor and that of his wife, and emphasis on "keeping up appearances" that is distinct of the Renaissance merchant class, to which Boccaccio belonged.

	Love and the Quest for Beauty: The Romantic Hero and Heroine (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The novel An Ephesian Tale begins with a description of the hero, Habrocomes, whom the citizens of Ephesus treated like a god for his astounding good looks, which increased daily, and for his many accomplishments.
		An Ephesian Tale ends with the lovers’ return to Ephasis where they "lived happily ever after; the rest of their life together was one long festival." Leukippe and Clitophon ends less dramatically, but nonetheless happily for the lovers.
		The happy ending of the fairy tale, the myth, and the divine comedy of the soul, is to be read, not as a contradiction, but as a transcendence of the universal tragedy of man (Campbell 1968, 28).

	The Decameron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tale X, 5 shares its plot with Chaucer's "The Franklin's Tale", although this is not due to a direct borrowing from Boccaccio.
		The tale of patient Griselda (X, 10) was the source of Chaucer's "Clerk's Tale." However, scholars agree that Chaucer probably wasn't directly familiar with the Decameron, and instead derived it from a Latin translation/retelling of that tale by Petrarch.
		Some scholars have suggested that some of the tales for which there is no prior source may still have not have been invented by Boccaccio, but may have been circulating in the local oral tradition and Boccaccio may have just happened to be the first person that we know of to record them.

	P.L. Bayers: Review of Felsenstein, English Trader, Indian Maid
		As an anthology which traces the development of the tale, Felsenstein's book helps to situate the story as an unfolding historical and cultural narrative, particularly in regard to representations of race, gender, and slavery in 18th- and 19th-century England.
		In fact, in his introduction, Felsenstein makes the case that this tale must be seen not only as a written story, but one which existed as part of an oral tradition in British culture.
		Following Felsenstein's argument that this tale was a central cultural artifact of 17th- through 19th-century England, if scholars are not familiar with the different manifestations of the tale, this book is a "must read" for scholars of this period of British literary and cultural studies.

		5-6) during the late 6th century; it is conjectured, based on similarities with the Ephesian Tale of Xenophon of Ephesus, that the original was a Greek romance of the 3rd century.
		The earliest manuscripts of the tale, in a Latin version, date from the 9th or 10th century; the most widespread Latin versions are those of Gottfried von Viterbo, who incorporated it into his Pantheon of 1185 as if it were actual history, and a version in the Gesta Romanorum.
		The earliest vernacular translation is an incomplete Old English prose text from the 11th century, sometimes called the first English novel; the existence of this text is something of a mystery, since secular prose fiction was extremely rare at the time.

	Paulus Absconditus: Paul versus John in Ephesian Tradition by Robert M. Price

	CBMW Book Review - I Suffer Not A Woman
		The inclusion of castrated priests and hermaphrodites in the official retinue of the Ephesian Artemis further suggests the presence of sex reversal.
		The female dancers at the temple of the Ephesian Artemis clashed their arms, so lethal weapons were part of the priestesses' religious accoutrements.
		These Ephesian snakes, if they were truly religious symbols, could very well have represented Greek household deities or the equivalent Roman lares from the home of a Latin merchant living at Ephesus (e.g., qui in statario [the slavemarket] negotiantur, IEph 646 and 3025).

		A soldier on duty guarding the bodies of three crucified criminals nearby hears her cries, solaces her gently bringing a sip of wine, then more and some food, until she transfers her affections to him and they finally fall in love there in the tomb.
		I believe we have a story which was floating around the world of the first century A.D. in indeterminate form, originating from the crucifixion of Christ in his close-knit neo-Jewish society, but spreading westward where it lost its religious overtones and became a part of the secular story-telling of the Greco-Roman world.

		Their plots, in broadest outline, are identical: Boy and girl meet, fall in love, are married or about to be married, then are snatched apart by misfortune, faced with escalating threats to life and chastity, and finally reunited with virtue intact (hers anyway - his may wind up a bit tattered).
		"An Ephesian Tale" is sheer melodrama, "Chaereas and Callirhoe" a loosely historical romance, "An Ethiopian Story" a skillful narrative that opens with a trompe l'oeil scene that would do credit to a contemporary novelist.
		Perhaps the most interesting to the modern reader is "Daphnis and Chloe", where the perils to the lovers are more psychological than physical and the story traces their love affair from the first stirrings of adolescent attraction through long-delayed consummation.

		Lollianus’ Phoenician Tales was only known in fragments and the story seemed very complicated and confusing at first because of the series of different actions occurring within the fragments.
		Whereas the classical image of the lover is transient and is “likened to a hunter, and the prey was a young man or woman whose charms inspired the ardour of the pursuer,” in the Greek novel, “ a mutual and lasting union which achieves its ultimate expression in marriage,” is the ideal.
		Similarly, in comparing The Ephesian Tale to Chareas and Callirhoe, when the horrible Manto falls in love with Habrocomes, Anthia is prepared to kill herself out of dignity.

		Hansen provides complete English translations of the following works: Xenophon of Ephesus, An Ephesian Tale; The Acts of Paul and Thecla; Secundus the Silent Philosopher; pseudo-Lucian, Lucius, or The Ass; The Life of Aesop; pseudo-Callisthenes, The Alexander Romance; and the Oracles of Astrampsychus.
		In a few cases, Hansen is dealing with ancient texts that are themselves collections or (in the case of the epitaphs, an "uncollected" ancient genre) and he includes representative material rather than complete texts in these cases: Phlegon of Tralles, Book of Marvels; Aesop's fables (collectio Augustana); The Laughter-Lover (Philogelos); and some selected epitaph inscriptions.
		Yet aside from the many fundamental questions about the aesthetics of popular literature in antiquity that are still waiting for answers, it is also worth noting that there is a certain disjunction between the issues raised in Hansen's introduction to the anthology and the individual items that it contains.

	Sense Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Such a "prosaics" approach will focus less on an overarching unity in each text than to the heterogeneous forces and impulses that often serve as temporary trajectories for the unfolding of the novel and hence can often contribute to its lack of cohesion.
		In Xenophon's Ephesian Tale, I reconsider the epitome theory and conclude that characteristics critics identify as indicative of excerption or contaminatio are actually symptomatic of the way novels are composed: by the recombination of and redeployment of traditional characters, events and plots.
		In Heliodorus' An Ethiopian Tale, I look at the central book (Book 6), where there is a transition between the first and second phase of the novel.

		Particularly noteworthy in connection with Ignatius' epistle to the Ephesians, however, is that a wealthy Ephesian benefactor, C.

		Indeed this aspect is given a new dimension through the analysis of a Greek novel, Xenophon’s Ephesian Tale which is taken as a ‘control text’.
		Lastly the author’s most telling contribution is in the setting out of a subtle methodology, helpful for reading ancient popular texts, and in particular the ending of the Gospel of Mark.
		These readings, which highlight the aural nature of the texts, are followed by a methodological justification for using Speech Act Theory as a hermeneutical tool, and further readings, of Xenophon’s romance, and three endings of the Gospel of Mark.
