Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 1,
1867, p. 688: "Chariton, of Aphrodisias, a town of Caria, is the name by which one of the
Greek erotic prose writers calls himself, but the name is probably feigned...Nothing is
known respecting the real life or the time of the author
Brill's New Pauly: "Chariton, We have no direct information about the
author of the earliest complete surviving novel, beyond that given by him at the beginning
of the book
there he presents himself as secretary to the orator Athenagoras, originating
from Aphrodisias in Caria. It has been conjectured that all these details, including the
name Chariton, were invented in order to establish a symbolic link to the theme of love and
to the setting... ...." from Fusillo, Massimo (L'Aquila). "Chariton." Brill's New Pauly.
