Please, please, please don't remind me of Xenophon of Ephesus...

Lacking a classical education, that was bound to arouse my curiosity, so I googled him.

Xenophon of Ephesus is known for a novel called "The Ephesian Tale of Anthia and Habrocomes". Young newlyweds are taken as slaves and separated. They face dreadful perils in their attempts to remain true to each other and reunite.

Wikipedia says: "If An Ephesian Tale is an absorbing tale of love and improbable adventure, it is also a tract to prove that Diana of the Ephesians (who was equated with Isis) cares for her loyal devotees." I suppose somebody must have worshipped the wrong god (not Isis). Based on the plot as described in Wiki, it all sounds pretty exciting to me!
