EUSTATHIOS MAKREMBOLTES

G e n e r a l   I n f o r m a t i o n

»Eustathios Makrembolites (Greek: Εὐστάθιος Μακρεμβολίτης; fl. c. 1150–1200), Latinized as Eustathius Macrembolites, was a Byzantine revivalist of the ancient Greek romance, flourished in the second half of the 12th century CE. He is sometimes conflated/equated with his contemporary, the Eparch of the City Eumathios Makrembolites (Greek: Εὐμάθιος Μακρεμβολίτης).« (Extract from: Wikipedia)


The Story of Hysmine and Hysminias

I n f o r m a t i o n

»He was the author of a Byzantine novel, The Story of Hysmine and Hysminias, in eleven books. Although he borrowed from Homer and other Attic poets, the chief source of his phraseology was the rhetorician Choricius of Gaza. The style is remarkable for the absence of hiatus and a laboured use of antithesis. The digressions on works of art, apparently the result of personal observation, are considered by some scholars the best part of the work. The novel enjoyed a later influence in connection with the story tradition of Apollonius of Tyre—Eustathius' scene of the storm at sea and the heroine offered as a sacrifice being adapted in Book 8 of the Confessio Amantis of John Gower and, by way of that, forming a portion of the plot of William Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre (particularly in Act III).« (Extract from: Wikipedia)
