Ignatius uses the term hagneia in reference to "chastity" in Letter to Polycarp 1.2.[1] Methodius of Olympus uses the term in his only extant text, "On Virginity."
Peter Brown notes that the idea carried significance in both pagan and Christian communities in the late third century and had an impact on Christian discourses of virginity and sexuality.[2]
Along with nostos, Daniel Selden considers hagneia a leitmotif of the ancient Greek novel.[3]
