Antonius Diogenes

Antonius Diogenes was the author of an ancient Greek romance entitled The Wonders Beyond Thule. Scholars have placed him in the 2nd century A.D., but his age was unknown even to Photius I, Patriarch of Constantinople, who wrote a synopsis of the romance. The romance was a novel of twenty-four books and was written in the form of a dialogue about travels. Photios highly praised it for its vivid narration, clarity, and the gracefulness of its descriptions.
