He is known by a single text, an anthology of stories, preserved in only one Byzantine manuscript under the title Collection of Metamorphoses (Synagōgē Metamorphoseōn). The study focuses on the definition of this text, in the context of the manuscript (second half of the ninth century) and at the time of its composition (second or early third century CE?), and takes into account the hypotheses that can be made about its author. It proposes a general appreciation of the work, its structure and its themes, and questions some of the author’s writing characteristics.Show less >
