Book excerpt: Alciphron was a second century AD writer of highly literary and stylistic letters, owing much to the New Comedy of Menander, while providing a fascinating window into the social life of Athens after the reign of Alexander. The letters represent some of the most important and appealing compositions of the Second Sophistic period. They comprise a wide variety of circumstances, detailing the colourful lives of parasites, courtesans, fishermen and farmers; the theme of erotic love is never far. Alciphron’s inventive imagination and compelling realism have won him a place of distinction in the early development of romantic prose.
