Abstract
This study demonstrates that far from having a mere ornamental function or from simply serving as testimony to the author’s erudition, the extracts from the Homeric poems illuminate better certain developments in the plot of Chariton’s novel or the psychology of some of its characters by the juxtaposition of the world of Callirhoe to those of the Iliad and the Odyssey.
