Abstract
Abstract Only two papyri (P.Oxy. 5355 and PSI 981) are preserved of the lost Greek novel known as Calligone, whose female protagonist goes to war as an ally of the Amazons. Here, I propose new hypotheses concerning the historical events which may have inspired the action of the novel and suggest a reconstruction of the plot.
期刊介绍:
The Archiv für Papyrusforschung (APF) (Archive for Papyrus Research) – founded in 1901 by Ulrich Wilcken – is the oldest specialised papyrus studies journal in the world. Nowadays, the APF differs from other journals specializing in papyrus studies, on account of its papers (literary papyri, Christian texts, papers on documents, judicial articles, Coptic texts and documents, demotica, interpretations and resources).
