The most famous and influential classical ‘novel’ is Xenophon’s Cyropaedia, focusing on the hybrid (half-Persian, half-Mede) king. The interpretative issues raised by the Cyropaedia (is it praise or critique?) can be better understood if we consider its subject as semiotically hybrid, balancing the manly, regal mode of Persia against the decadent mode of Media.
