Xenophon of Ephesus, Greek roman, ethopoeia, AnthiaAbstract
Rhetoric plays a fundamental role in the Greek novel. In the Ephesiaca the numerous soliloquies of the female protagonist, introduced by Xenophon in direct speech, always show a clear debt to the rhetorical moulds that support the character's description, the ethopoeia. This paper takes Anthia’s monologues as its starting point and explores how they reproduce the rules established by the rhetoric theory. We analyse at what point in the plot these soliloquies of the heroine appear –and, above all, where they appear, bearing in mind the narrative significance of certain places in the Greek novel– in order to determine whether they are merely literary tropes or are in fact elements in the development of the plot.
