Culture in Roman Asia Minor, 2nd Century C.E.: Longus: Daphnis and Chloe
Writing in the second century after Christ, Longus comprised what is today one of the most-well-known romance novels of the time. Daphnis and Chloe or the Pastorals was praised by Goethe, made into a ballet by Ravel, and illustrated by Chagall. It is, perhaps, the only novel from the time that a well-read person could name.

Longus, Daphnis and Chloe
Longus was an ancient Greek writer of whom we know little. His residence was most likely located on the island of Lesbos, the setting of his pastoral novel Daphnis and Chloe. What is interesting about Longus’ talent was his ability to blend a typical Greek romance novel with pastoral poetry. Because of his level of sophistication and skill, Longus’ writing is set by scholars in the Second Sophistic period (second century A.D.). [eng] |

Longus' Daphnis and Chloe -
This textbook is meant for intermediate classroom use. Students will enjoy "Longus' Daphnis and Chloe", which is a tale about young love and country life, without the added burden of learning much about Greek history or philosophy. Longus' Greek is straightforward and should provide opportunity for a thorough review of Attic Greek. The running vocabulary and explanations of the grammar and syntax of the more complicated passages serve to move the reading along, allowing the instructor to decide what specific grammar review is necessary.
