Book excerpt: A tender novel describing eager and inept young love, Daphnis and Chloe tells the story of a baby boy and girl who are discovered separately, two years apart, alone and exposed on a Greek mountainside. Taken in by a goatherd and a shepherd respectively, and raised near the town of Mytilene, they grow to maturity unaware of one another's existence - until the mischievous god of love, Eros, creates in them a sudden overpowering desire for one another. A masterpiece among early Greek romances, attracting both high praise and moral disapproval, this work has proved an enduringly fertile source of inspiration for musicians, writers and artists from Henry Fielding to Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and Maurice Ravel. Longus transforms familiar themes from the romance genre - including pirates, dreams, and the supernatural - into a virtuoso love story that is rich in insight, humorous and ironical in its treatment of human sexual experience.

Book excerpt: This book provides vocabulary and commentary to Longus' ancient romance novel Daphnis and Chloe (c. 150-250 CE), one of the last great works of Ancient Greek pagan literature. Longus' text tells the ostensibly simple story of how an innocent young boy (the goatherder Daphnis) and girl (the shepherdess Chloe) on the Aegean island of Lesbos gradually discover love, sex, and their true selves in a semi-idealized pastoral environment. In actuality, however, this narrative surface conceals an intricately crafted and highly polished work that, as it delights the eyes and ears with its rhythmical, symmetrical, and variegated verbal patternings, explores questions concerning gender and the relations between the sexes, investigates the relationship between instinct and culture, and offers a sophisticated commentary on the interrelationship of τέχνη ("art") and φύσις ("nature"), μῦθος ("fiction/imagination") and λόγος ("factual account/truth").The vocabulary lists in this edition employ the up-to-date English definitions found in Franco Montanari's The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek (2015), and are therefore superior to those found in the one other English language student commentary on Daphnis and Chloe aimed at intermediate-level readers, Byrne and Cueva's Longus' Daphnis and Chloe: An Annotated Edition (Mundelein [IL], 2005), which rely on the mid-nineteenth-century English of LSJ9 (Liddell, H. G., Scott, R., Stuart Jones, J., and Mackenzie, R. (eds.). A Greek-English Lexicon [9th edition]. Oxford, 1968). In addition, the notes in this edition, which are more numerous and detailed than those in Byrne and Cueva's text, explicate syntactical and grammatical aspects that may be challenging for intermediate students, point out many (not all!) of the various literary/rhetorical figures and tropes that are extensively employed, and supply information on historical and cultural issues raised by the novel. Lastly, a glossary is included of words that occur more than three times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Love of Daphnis and Chloe (2nd century C.E.) is an ancient Greek romance novel by Longus. Set on Lesbos, it is a classic story of love set in a recognizably pastoral setting. An important early novel and a landmark in the development of Western literature, The Love of Daphnis and Chloe has inspired and influenced such wide-ranging artists as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Allan Ramsay, Marc Chagall, Colette, and Yukio Mishima. Abandoned at birth, Daphnis is raised by a goatherd named Lamon on the island of Lesbos. Chloe, likewise abandoned, is raised by Dryas, a nearby shepherd. Living and working in the fields of their native land, the two become fast friends, frequently spending time together while herding their respective flocks. As they fall in love, with no model for romantic affection, Daphnis and Chloe struggle to understand their mutual feeling. Seeking the guidance of a wise cowherd, they are advised to share a kiss with one another, for only a kiss will cure their growing sickness. All too trusting, they follow the cowherd’s instruction, only to be plunged into deeper desire. Still unsure of how to show his affection, Daphnis journeys to the city, where an older woman educates him in the ways of love. Meanwhile, Chloe is kidnapped and taken to a faraway kingdom. Fearing the worst, Daphnis embarks on a journey to save her, facing pirates, pitfalls, and countless other dangers on his way. The Love of Daphnis and Chloe is not only a groundbreaking work of prose fiction, but a widely adapted model of classical romance that continues to be read and appreciated nearly two millennia after its publication. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Longus’s The Love of Daphnis and Chloe is a classic of ancient Greek literature reimagined for modern readers.
