The metrical novel "Kallimachos and Chrysoeroe", in 2,607 dissimilar fifteen-syllable verses, is a work of the late Byzantine era that describes the romantic and passionate love of a young couple.

It is a chivalric novel, which, as it seems, has many motifs borrowed from the popular fairy tales of the time.

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 "Kallimachos and Chrysoeroe" is an effort to spread such texts to a wider audience, which have influenced contemporary popular traditions and narratives.
