Cover of Schmeling Gareth Schmeling & Paschalis Michael Paschalis: Holy Men and Charlatans in the Ancient Novel (PDF)

The present volume comprises the papers delivered at RICAN 6, which was held in Rethymnon, Crete, on May 30-31, 2011. The focus is placed on male and female characters in the ancient novel and related texts, both pagan and Christian; these characters are presented either as holy or as charlatans but in several cases the two categories cannot be easily distinguished from each other. The papers offer a wide and rich range of perspectives.
