Leucippe and Clitophon
The Adventures of Leucippe and Clitophon (Ancient Greek: τὰ κατὰ Λευκίππην καὶ Kλειτoφῶντα), written by Achilles Tatius in eight books, is the second-longest of the five surviving Ancient Greek romances, and the only one to exhibit genuine humour. The novel has been variably described as a "comedy, parody, an antiplatonic essay on eros, and so on." == Plot summary == === Sidon and Tyre === I. Landing in Sidon after a storm, an unnamed narrator visits the local temple, to make an offering of thanks to Astarte, the Phoenician goddess of love.
