19 editions published between 1923 and 1999 in English and Undetermined and held by 629 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The Romance novel didn't begin with Kathleen Woodiwiss or even with the Bronte sisters. By the time Heliodorus wrote his "Aethiopica"--or "Ethiopian Romance"--in the third century, the genre was already impressively developed. Heliodorus launches his tale of love and the quirks of fate with a bizarre scene of blood, bodies, and booty on an Egyptian beach viewed through the eyes of a band of mystified pirates. The central love-struck characters are Charicles, the beautiful daughter of the Ethiopian queen, and Theagenes, a Thessalian aristocrat. The story unfolds with all the twists and devices any writer would employ today, with the added attractions of dreams, oracles, and exotic locales in the ancient Mediterranean and Africa."--Goodreads

Chariclea, the daughter of King Hydaspes and Queen Persinna of Ethiopia, was born white because her mother gazed upon a painting of the naked Andromeda just after her rescue by Perseus while Chariclea was being conceived (an instance of the theory of maternal impression). Fearing accusations of adultery, Persinna gives her baby daughter to the care of Sisimithras, a gymnosophist, who takes the baby to Egypt and places her in the care of Charicles, a Pythian priest. Chariclea is then taken to Delphi, and made a priestess of Artemis. Theagenes, a noble Thessalian, comes to Delphi and the two fall in love. He runs off with Chariclea with the help of Calasiris (kalasiris), an Egyptian who has been employed by Persinna to find Chariclea. They encounter many perils: pirates, bandits, and others

Heliodorus composed this love epic in the revived Greek prose of his time -- probably in the first quarter of the third century A.D. This work can claim the distinction of being the first skilfully constructed European romance.

)
29 editions published between 1659 and 2015 in 6 languages and held by 361 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Een spannende romance van meer dan 1650 jaar geleden, vol verwikkelingen, maar met een happy end: de liefdesgeschiedenis van Charicleia en Theagenes. Charicleia is de beeldschone dochter van de koning en koningin van Ethiopië. Ze wordt te vondeling gelegd, komt in Griekenland terecht, wordt priesteres in Delphi en ontmoet daar Theagenes, een edelman uit Thessalië. Voor beiden is het liefde op het eerste gezicht. 0Maar voordat de twee terugkeren naar Ethiopië en kunnen trouwen, worden ze geconfronteerd met een reeks van gevechten, ontvoeringen, piraten, rovers, lange reizen en persoonsverwisselingen. 0Heliodorus moet omstreeks 375 na Christus geleefd hebben. Hij was afkomstig uit Emesa (nu Homs, in Syrië). Van hem is maar één roman bekend: de Aethiopica, een 'Ethiopisch verhaal', over de liefde van Theagenes en Charicleia. De laatste Nederlandse vertaling is van 1825; tijd dus voor een update door Marianne van der Weiden
