This chapter offers a collection of texts belonging to ancient Greek novels
dealing with ghosts, either in embedded tales or in episodes, both in extant complete
novels and in papyri fragments. We will analyse nine texts and quote other parallels
from both contemporary Greek and Latin literature. In our conclusions we will try
to distinguish some of their types according to categories such as: tale enunciation,
authentic and false ghosts, terminology, and physical description. Finally, we will
remark on the rhetorical character of these stories.
