Eliodoro di Emesa è celebre per il romanzo dell'antica Grecia, l'Aethiopica, conosciuto anche come la Storia Etiopica. La sua opera rappresenta l'apice del romanzo classico, esercitando un'influenza significativa sulle tradizioni letterarie successive. L'autore intreccia magistralmente racconti di avventura, profonda emozione e spesso si addentra nella contemplazione religiosa e filosofica. La sua prosa è ricca e sofisticata, ricca di passaggi descrittivi e colpi di scena drammatici, che lo consacrano come un narratore accattivante.
