Barbara Johnson dryly calls Aristotle «the founder of the law of gender as well as of the law of genre». See A World of Difference (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1987), 33. One code of that Aristotelian «law of gender» represents the deliberative capacity of women as akuron, that is, as «lacking in authority» or as «easily overruled» (The Politics, 1260a13).

Three of the four twelfth-century novels, all written in learned literary Greek, were verse imitations of Heliodorus: Hysmine and Hysminias (by Eustathius Macrembolitis); Rhodanthe and Dosicles (by Theodore Prodomus); Aristandros and Callithea (by Constantine Manasses); and Drosilla and Charicles (by Nicetas Eugenianus). On the fourteenth-century Byzantine romances, with their newly westernized folk-tale motifs, see Hägg, The Novel in Antiquity, 80. (N. from the A.)
