Chapter 4
Realidad de la institución matrimonial en la ficción de las novelas
grecolatinas
The purpose of this work is to make evident how the
informations about various aspects of the marriage institution contained in
the Greco-Latin novels are not purely fictional data, but approximately
respond to historical reality and are reliable enough to be contributed to
the task of rebuilding a legal institution such as marriage in the
particular eastern historical and geographical context of late Greco-Roman
antiquity.
