Chariton Knihy
Chariton, autor pravdepodobne najstaršieho plne dochovaného romantického románu v západnej literatúre, písal s citom pre detail a hĺbku. Jeho diela, ktoré sa zachovali na starovekých papyrusoch, sú cenené pre svoju schopnosť vtiahnuť čitateľov do sveta vášne a dobrodružstva. Charitonov štýl, charakteristický svojím plynulým rozprávaním a prepracovanými postavami, ho zaraďuje medzi významných románopiscov staroveku. Jeho romány predstavujú kľúčový prvok v histórii západného literárneho žánru.
