Abstract
A study on some aspects of female roles in ancient narrative. The topos of the “virgin in the brothel” is specifically analyzed, highlighting the differences and analogies between the anonymous Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri, Xenophon of Ephesus, and several other rhetorical and hagiographic sources. In the novel, the woman has usually a more active role, and more space is given to her emotions.
