Answer: Love stories.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Hellenistic literature, romantic love was a dominant theme, with both its miseries and joys, its complications and temptations. Hellenistic romances, such as The Ephesian Story, and The Ethiopian Story, arose especially during the late Hellenistic Age (323–30 BC).
What became known as the Greek romance, was the forerunner of the modern novel.
