Book Description:
|
Longus' Daphnis and Chloe is arguably our finest surviving Greek novel, whose story engages with romantic, pastoral and rhetorical themes. This is the first full commentary to address Longus' linguistic texture and its implications for his literary aspirations, as well as his narrative skills and intertextuality with earlier Greek writers.
