SexViolHist Bib: Representations: Literary Texts: Niketas Eugenianos

»Niketas Eugenianos (Νικήτας Εὐγενειανός; fl. 12th century) was a Byzantine rhetor and writer.
His life is almost entirely unknown to us. The main sources are his own works. He was a pupil of Theodore Prodromos and a preceptor of Stephen Komnenos, the son of Constantine Komnenos.« (Extract from: Wikipedia)

Drosilla and Charikles

I n f o r m a t i o n

»His best known work is a Greek novel in dodecasyllables (three sections are in hexameters: III 263–288 and 197–320, songs, and VI 205–235, a lament), titled Drosillas and Charikles, which was written "in imitation of the most blessed philosopher Prodromos". Prodromos composed a novel in nine books, titled Rhodantes and Dosikles, which Niketas used as a source of inspiration. The novel is also inspired by Achilles Tatius and Heliodorus and possibly by Eustathios Makrembolites.« (Extract from: Wikipedia)
