ESSAY ON: Chaereas and Callirhoe/An Ephesian Tale

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page essay that compares and contrasts the ancient Greek narratives of Chaereas and Callirhoe and An Ephesian Tale. The writer argues that these stories express a similar perspective on the topic of love and the manner in which romantic love manifests itself in human society, that is, through the action of the god Eros. This similarity is evident from the beginning of each tale, in which the handsome male protagonist is shown, despite personal beauty and ability, to be at the mercy of the god and also to possess enormous pride, which serves as the rationale to justify the trials and tribulations that are encountered in the story. No bibliography is offered.
