a listing of novels and story collections in English
- Bronze age and mythistoricals
- Archaic Greece
- Fifth century BC
- Fourth century BC
- Hellenistic
- Cleopatra
- Collections &c.
- ???
... and click here for a filmography of ancient Greece in the cinema.
This complements the much better listings of Roman historical fiction by Stefan Cramme and Fred Mench. Details are a bit skeletal - no publishers, for example - but this version is beginning to approach completeness simply as a checklist of English-language titles, though it's no match for the wonderful specialist pages by Jeanne Reames-Zimmerman on Alexander fiction, Kris Swank on Greek detective fiction and Diane Arnson Svarlien on classical books for children. Where texts are available online, I've added links. The page is in a transitional state; I'm working on a much fuller listing, based on an update of William Thompson's pamphlet Classical Novels (ARLT 1966), which I hope will be comprehensive for both Greek and Roman fiction in English, and will include proper publication details. At the moment I have a database of just under 1200 items - information and inquiries welcome.
