EUSTATHIUS, or EUMATHIUS

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 957 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EUD-FAT
EUSTATHIUS, or EUMATHIUS , surnamed Macrembolites (" living near the long bazaar "), the last of the Greek romance writers, flourished in the second half of the 12th century A.D. His title Protonobilissimus shows him to have been a person of distinction, and if he is also correctly described in the MSS. as p yas xapTotiXaE (
chief
  keeper of the ecclesiastical archives), he must have been a Christian. He was the author of The Story of Hysmine and Hysminias, in eleven books, a tedious and inferior imitation of the Cleitophon and Leucippe of Achilles Tatius. There is nothing
original
  in the plot, and the
work
  is tasteless and often coarse. Although the author 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 an extremely laboured use of antithesis. The digressions on works of art, apparently the result of personal observation, are the best part of the
work
 . A collection of eleven Riddles, of which solutions were written by the grammarian Manuel Holobolos, is also attributed to Eustathius.
The best edition of both romance and riddles is by I. Hilberg (1876, who fixes the date of Eustathius between 85o and 988), with
critical
  apparatus and prolegomena, including the solutions; of the Riddles alone by M. Treu (1893). On Eustathius generally, see J. C.
Dunlop
 , History of Fiction (1388, new ed. in
Bohn
 's Standard Library) ; E. Rohde, Der griechische Roman (1900) ; K. Krumbacher, Geschichte der byzantinischen Litteratur (1897). There are many translations in modern languages, of which that by r. le Bas (1825) may be recommended; there is an English version from the French by L. H. le Moine (London and Paris, 1788).
