Resumo(s)
About eight centuries after Heliodorus, the Greek novel resurfaced in the twelfth
century, in Komnenian Byzantium, and again two centuries later under the Palaiologan dynasty. This
latter literary revival was due to the political stability of the imperial Byzantine government, which
promoted cultural production, rhetorical education, and patronage networks. Kallimachos and
Velthandros, two Palaiologan romances presented as court literature, combine ancient and medieval
tropes with rhetorical artistry to blur the boundaries between the artificial and the natural. Castles and
objects made of precious metals thus resemble living, natural spaces, and human characters are
portrayed in metallurgical, anthomorphic, and zoomorphic terms.
