O romance grego e latino: uma proposta de estudo panorâmico e comparativo entre obras

In this paper, we aimed to explain the main characteristics of some works from Ancient times that are known as ‘novel’. We wanted to make a general outlook of the term ‘novel’, which is a anachronic term to describe ancient texts, and explain why the use of this term is actually used. We focused especially on an introductory approach of novels: which works have survived, and what we can discover from the works that arrived nowadays in fragments. We have also made a comparison between these Greek novels and the Latin novels, and intended to perceive how these two cultures, and literature, were nearby each other.
