The starting point is a story of Apollonius of Tiana according to the text of Philostratus, which was recovered by Goethe in The Bride of Corinth, taken up by 19th Century authors such as Théophile Gautier and Amado Nervo, and reworked by Carlos Fuentes in the 20th Century, in his novel Aura, with the addition of an 18th Century Japanese author, Ueda Akinari, who wrote stories along these lines.
