* Chaereas and Callirhoe, a novel written by the ancient Greek author Chariton

Chariton of Aphrodisias () was the author of an ancient Greek novel probably titled Callirhoe ( based on the subscription in the sole surviving manuscript ), though it is regularly referred to as Chaereas and Callirhoe ( which more closely aligns with the title given at the head of the manuscript ).

In Syracuse, Chaereas falls madly in love with the supernally beautiful Callirhoe, and they are married, but when her many disappointed suitors successfully conspire to trick Chaereas into thinking she is unfaithful, he kicks her so hard that she falls over as if dead.

Chaereas and Callirhoe return in triumph to Syracuse, where Callirhoe offers prayers to Aphrodite, who has guided the events of the narrative.

The historical daughter of Hermocrates died after a violent attack by soldiers ; that Callirhoe merely appears to be dead after being kicked by Chaereas has been seen as a deliberate change allowing Chariton " to resurrect her for adventures abroad ".

In Chariton ’ s ancient Greek novel Callirhoe, Chaereas finds his wife ’ s tomb empty and " All kinds of explanations were offered by the crowd, Chaereas, looking up to heaven and stretching up his hands said ' Which of the gods has become my rival and carried off Callirhoe and now has her instead of me, against her will but constrained by a better fate?

When Chaereas entered Edessa on April 12, 449, to commence the trial, he was met by a mob of abbots and monks and their partisans, clamoring for the immediate expulsion and condemnation of Ibas and his followers.

Recent evidence of fragments of the text on papyri suggests that the novel may have been written in the mid 1st century AD, making it the oldest surviving complete ancient prose romance and the only one to make use of apparent historiographical features for background verisimilitude and structure, in conjunction with elements of Greek mythology, as Callirhoë is frequently compared to Aphrodite and Ariadne and Chaereas to numerous heroes, both implicitly and explicitly.
