In the external space, can see a space in which adventures take place in cities of the Hellenistic world. The micro-space, in the text, is formed through the social space from the relationships established by the protagonists with the people of these places. Precisely, in the micro-space, the motif of love is intertwined with seduction, chastity, fidelity, separation as well as with violence and slavery. The latter constitutes a reason for constant violence for the young protagonists who defend their fidelity and chastity threatened in hostile environments and alien to the Hellenic world.
