Abstract


In this paper prophetic dreams of Heliodorus’ Aethiopica are analysed, their interpretation keys are explained and their functions within the narration are emphasized. These oniric visions are also studied as a device to create suspense and as a means of divine will to rule the story. Finally paralelisms and relationships with the dreams of the other Greek love novels are highlighted.
