- Abstract:
- The Greek addition to Daniel Susanna and Chariton of Aphrodisias’ Callirhoe are early examples of novels/novella. These works reflect on legal protocol and the place of women vis-à-vis the law and the household, exposing female bodies to make their point. This article connects these features to ancient novelists’ utilisation of female bodies. Content warning: this article discusses sexual violence, rape and death. https://www.lectio.unibe.ch/en/archive/joseph-scales-susanna-and-callirhoe-female-bodies-law-and-novels.html
