Topic: Leucippe and Clitophon


  
  Achilles Tatius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the destruction of the camp of the Nile bandits, the lovers and their friends made for Alexandria, but were again betrayed: Leucippe was kidnapped from a banquet by Chaireas and during the boat pursuit to rescue her, the kidnappers chopped her head off and threw her to the waves.
Leucippe and Clitophon is the key source for The Story of Hysmine and Hysminias, by the 12th century AD Greek author Eustathius Macrembolites (or Eumathius).
Leucippe and Clitophon is also imitated in Historia de los amores de Clareo y Florisea by the Spanish writer Alonso Nuñez de Reinoso (Venice, 1552).

She points out, for example, that Leucippe never lays down the law in sententious statements, as the male characters do, and that the novel is the 'least emotionally gynocentric of all the Greek novels' (p.
Leucippe is the target of male vision and 'scopic asymmetry' is a structural feature of the book, but this does not leave men unaffected by the visual experience.
On the other hand, Leucippe is empowered through the exhibition of her body, but this is not a matter of her own volition.

Leucippe est le fondateur de l'atomisme, mais nous ne possédons aucune de ses œuvres à proprement parler : elles sont comprises dans celles de Démocrite, et il est pratiquement impossible de distinguer leurs idées respectives.
L'existence même de Leucippe est sujette à caution : Lucrèce la nie, mais Aristote et Théophraste le citent explicitement comme étant à l'origine de la théorie atomiste.

 Leucippe and Clitophon (Oxford World's Classics)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Leucippe and Clitophon, written in Roman times, was set in the still older Greece.
The premise behind all this is Clitophon's passion for the chaste (and chased) Leucippe.
The details are too much to tell, but chains of improbable events keep the lovers just moments from consummation until the very end, when all the other loose ends are tied up as well.

The narrator meets Clitophon in the Phoenician city of Tyre while viewing a votive picture of Europa and the Bull (Zeus).
In this book, Leucippe (following the advice of Artemis) becomes a devotee of chastity, and Clitophon tries to keep her from the clutches of Charmides (the general who had helped Clitophon in the previous book) and from a bout of madness.
Chaereas of Pharos (who revealed the cause of Leucippe's madness in Book 4) now contrives to steal away Leucippe, and once again, Clitophon is doomed to witness what seems to be the young woman's violent demise.

 Vision and Narrative in Achilles Tatius' Leucippe and Clitophon - Cambridge University Press
Achilles Tatius' Leucippe and Clitophon, long regarded as the most controversial of the ancient Greek novels, is an outrageous tale of love and loss, of Phoenicians and philosophers, virginity tests and snuff murders.
This book, the first published monograph on Achilles Tatius, is a study of Leucippe and Clitophon in its literary and visual contexts.
'Vision and Narrative in Achilles Tatius' 'Leucippe and Clitophon' is, scandalously, the first monograph in any language on Achilles' extraordinary text and only the second in English on any Greek novel other than Longus' fey pastoral tease, Daphnis and Chloe.

He was probably educated in Alexandria and seems to have been interested in astronomy, philosophy, and literature.
He is mostly famous as the author of a far-fetched romantic adventure novel, Leucippe and Clitophon, quite the page-turner (or roller) with exotic locations, amazing plot-twists, and an abundance of sex and violence.
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.

Achilles Tatius' Leucippe and Clitophon is the most bizarre and risqu'e of the five "Greek novels" of idealized love between boy and girl that survive from the time of the Roman empire.
Ingenious and sophisticated in conception, Leucippe and Clitophon is at once subtle, stylish, moving, brash, tasteless, and obscene.

Whitmarsh: "Now I can truly say you have died a double death, Leucippe," I wailed, "divided between land and sea.
At 3.17 peripleketai moi becomes "I flung her arms around her." At 5.11 "Now Sostratus is giving me to Leucippe" has the direct and indirect object reversed (presumably just an accidentally inserted "to").
All fans of Achilles will have their own opinion of W.'s rendition of the kenotaphion...kenogamion pun in Melite's lament as she enters her sexless marriage with Clitophon in 5.14: "A novel phenomenon this, one that I alone have experienced.

 Leukippe and Kleitophon
Despite the supplications they make in the temples, a new conspiracy soon arises -- Chaireas is now deeply in love with Leukippe, and, when he learns that she will not consider giving up Kleitophon, rounds up some seamen who will help him kidnap her.
Chaireas then invites Clitophon and company to go to his home on the island of Pharos, but an two unlucky omens stop them; a hawk pursuing a swallow collides with Leukippe, and then they immediately see a picture of Tereus and the rape of Philomela, which receives a vivid description.
They decide not to go, and Chaireas leaves and says he will come back the next day.
