The Adventures of Leucippe and Clitophon, written by Achilles Tatius in eight books, is the second-longest of the five surviving Ancient Greek romances, and the only one to exhibit genuine humour. The novel has been variably described as a "comedy, parody, an antiplatonic essay on eros, and so on."
