The paper focuses on the Acta Xanthippae et Polyxenae (BHG 1877), an anonymous Greek work that blends hagiography, apocryphal acts of the apostles, and the Greek novel. The protagonists are two Spanish women, two sisters, converted through the preaching of Paul: the first one, Xanthippe, Probus’s wife, is the model of the Christian wife, while the second one, Polyxena, a young woman forced to wander far and wide over land and sea, is the model of the Christian virgin.
