Abstract:
Since the sophisticated and vigorous thematization of suicide is one of the most remarkable features of the Ajax, it is not surprising that this drama becomes a literary model for later writers who tell stories of self-killing, particularly if they want to look at the suicide as a problematic situation. In this paper I try to analyse two examples
taken from the novelists: the (intended) suicide of Anthia in book 3 of Xenophon Ephesius’ Anthia and Habrocomes and the quasi suicide of Callirhoe in books 2 and 3 of Charito’s Chaireas and Callirhoe.
