‎This novel by Achilles (second cent. A.D.) ""The Adventures of Leucippe and Cleitophon follows the usual patterns of the genre (a much hindered love - between two protagonists - triumphs in the end over numberless difficulties, terrifying dangers, and complicated adventures - voyages, shipwrecks, tortures, guiles, abductions, attacks by pirates and robbers etc.)"" the story is told - this is unusual in the genre - in the first person by Cleitophon himself, whom Achilles pretends to have met in Sidon. The authors style is typically Atticistic.."" (Oxf. Class.
