The metrical novel "Callimachus and Chrysorrhoe", in 2,607 unrhymed fifteen-syllable verses, is a work from the late Byzantine period, which describes the romantic and agonizing love of a young couple.
It is a chivalric novel, which, as it seems, has many motifs taken from the folk tales of the era.
The author writes a pure love novel, placing it in a fairy-tale framework that makes it quite appealing to the modern reader.
The modern Greek translation of the novel "Callimachus and Chrysorrhoe" is an effort to widely disseminate such texts to the reading public, which have influenced contemporary folk traditions and narratives.
