"Full of erotic spice and charm, this late-antique collection of fictitious letters was the work of a gifted litterateur of circa 500 C.E. who drew on a wealth of classical and postclassical models. Long known only to specialists of ancient literature, Aristaenetus's beguiling epistles are now available to a broader readership in the first complete English translation in nearly three centuries. The Greek text appears on facing pages.--"Back cover.
