ARISTAENETUS

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 493 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARISTAENETUS ,
Greek
  epistolographer, flourished in the 5th or 6th
century
  A.D. He was formerly identified with Aristaenetus of Nicaea (the friend of
Symmachus
 ), who perished in an
earthquake
  at
Nicomedia
 , A.D. 358, but internal evidence points to a much later date. Under his name two books of love stories, in the form of letters, are extant; the subjects are borrowed from the erotic elegies of such Alexandrian writers as Callimachus, and the language is a patchwork of phrases from Plato, Lucian,
Alciphron
  and others. The' stories are feeble and insipid, and full of strange and improbable incidents.
Text: Boissonade (1822); Hercher, Epistolographi Graeci (1873).
English
  translations: Boyer (1701);
Thomas
  Brown (1715); R. B.
Sheridan
  and Halked (1771 and later).
