The Monstrous World: Corporeal Discourses in Phlegon of Tralles' "Mirabilia" - Studies in Classical Literature and Culture
Julia Doroszewska
The cultural category of monster is the key to understanding the "Mirabilia" by Phlegon of Tralles. Applied to Phlegon's 35 marvelous stories, this category allows all his reported cases to be defined as either hybrid creatures, or as beings monstrous in terms of scale, size or multiplicity. In each case corporeality receives the greatest emphasis.
