The influence of Heliodorus’ Aethiopica in Spain spread throughout the sixteenth century and reached its apogee in the Golden Age theatre. Not only did Lope de Vega imitate the Byzantine genre: his pupil Juan Pérez de Montalbán wrote both Byzantine short novels and a play based on the adventures of Theagenes and Chariclea, titled Los hijos de la fortuna. This articles aims to analyse Montalbán’s play in order to underline the originality of the play with respect to the ancient Greek model.
