The work offers the first book-length study of the role of Latin literature in Greek literary culture, and provides fresh perspectives and new approaches to the literature and culture of this period.

Review Quotes: "J.'s comprehensive study is a serious and timely piece of scholarship that will make a difference in the study of the Greek novel and the reception of Latin authors in the Greek world." -- Stefan Tilg, Journal of Roman Studies

"This book is one of the most ambitious in recent scholarship on the Ancient Greek novel ... The large, intensely detailed product of Jolowicz's thorough investigations merits the scrutiny not only of experts on the Greek Novel but of scholars engaged in the broader question of (Roman) Greek intertextual affiliation with earlier Latin literary texts." -- Calum Maciver, Classical Journal

"This groundbreaking and engagingly written book is a welcome addition to the corpus of scholarly literature on allusion and intertextuality in the ancient Greek novels." -- Jo Norton-Curry, Classical Review

"Jolowicz's rigorously argued and methodologically convincing monograph deserves to be read widely, and with close attention." -- Malcolm Heath, Greece & Rome

"The book is convincing, well written, and a model of methodology." -- Marie - Pierre Bussières, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
