Of his life, nothing is known, though the \u003ci\u003eSuidas\u003c\/i\u003e says he became a Christian and a bishop and wrote a work on etymology, one on the sphere, and an account of great men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe is famous, however, for his surviving novel in eight books, \u003ci\u003eThe Adventures of Leucippe and Clitophon\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the best Greek love stories. Clitophon relates to a friend the various difficulties that he and Leucippe had to overcome before they are happily united. The story is full of incident and keeps readers in suspense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many digressions giving scientific facts, myths, meditations, and so on, the interest of which redeems irrelevance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47995475296492,"sku":"9780674990500","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780674990500-leucippe-and-clitophon.jpg?v=1784896479","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/leucippe-and-clitophon-by-achilles-tatius-9780674990500","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
