Heliodorus of Emesa[1] (Medieval Greek {{lang|grc|Ἡλιόδωρος ὁ Ἐμεσηνός}}) was a Byzantine writer for whom two ranges of dates are suggested, either about the 250s AD or in the aftermath of Emperor Julian's rule, that is shortly after 363.[2] He is known for the ancient Greek novel called the Aethiopica ({{lang|el|Αἰθιοπικά}}) ("Ethiopian Story"), sometimes called "Theagenes and Chariclia" ({{lang-el|Θεαγένης καὶ Χαρίκλεια}}). According to his own statement, his father's name was Theodosius and he belonged to a family of priests of the sun. The 5th-century Socrates of Constantinople identifies the author of the Aethiopica with a Heliodorus, bishop of Trikka, but the name Heliodorus was a common one. In the 14th century, Nikephoros Kallistos Xanthopoulos expanded this narrative, relating that the work was written in the early years of this bishop before he became a Christian and that, when forced either to disown it or resign his bishopric, he preferred resignation. Most scholars reject this identification.[3] See alsoOther ancient Greek novelists:
