On the importance of classical dramatic concepts for the Greek and Byzantine novel

Summary/Abstract: Considering the fact that classical Greek theatre was already vanishing in the early Imperial period, it seems only natural that the Greek novel, the “entertaining” genre, seized the opportunity to fill the void both practically and conceptually. Remarkable instances of the latter are found in Heliodorus: several chapters from his Book 7, emphasising the dramatic effect of narration, abound with technical terms of the ancient theatre. In the long period extending from the Early Empire to Late Byzantium a number of documents show that authors and critics have often used the term drama, or dramatikon to speak of the novel.
