This is a study of the Byzantine novel or Milesian
tale in Spain during the 17th century. It contains a
brief comment about the origin of this literary mode and
the significance of the two adjectives Byzantine and
Milesian. Two novels of the Hellenistic originators of
this form are discussed.
Four Spanish Byzantine novels are considered in
chronological order, with summaries and analyses, with
particular attention to their similarity to or modifica-
tion of the prototypes.
It is concluded that this particular aspect of 17th
century Spanish fiction is a deliberate imitation of the
Hellenistic models, modified by the Spanish authors by the
addition of original and contemporary ideas.
No longer a popular genre, the Byzantine novel made
a significant contribution to the development of the modern
Spanish novel.
