Longus' Daphnis and Chloe is arguably our finest surviving Greek novel. Written under the Roman Empire and engaging with romantic, pastoral and rhetorical themes, the story and characterisation have captured the imaginations of artists over the centuries. Despite a growing interest in ancient novels over the past half-century, 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. The commentary provides a detailed analysis of Longus' Greek and its relation to other Greek prose and poetry of the second century AD and earlier, and emphasises the construction and style of the original text, drawing out key points for clarification and discussion. A wide-ranging introduction ensures that this book will be an indispensable guide for teachers and students of all levels who are looking to engage with Longus' writing.

L'art narratif a-t-il pour mission d'orienter et de modifier les pensées et l'affectivité des lecteurs? C'est l'un des projets que Longos assigne à sa fiction, en un prologue où il démarque l'ambition instructive de Thucydide. Il désire ainsi rivaliser avec une peinture. Dans la description de celle-ci, les circonstances pastorales ne sont indiquées que comme un épisode, dont la situation chronologique est incertaine, parmi les aventures figurées. Pourtant, l'histoire de Daphnis et Chloé raconte l'apprentissage de l'amour et le mariage de deux jeunes pastoureaux dans un cadre campagnard. S'agit-il d'une mise en scène romanesque de thèmes de la poésie bucolique? Ce livre analyse les multiples emprunts de Longos à la tradition littéraire, à l'historiographie, mais aussi aux différents genres poétiques (épique, hymnique, lyrique, bucolique, épigrammatique), au théâtre, à Platon, à Plutarque, et sa participation aux débats de la critique littéraire. De telles analyses montrent comment Longos joue du décalage, de la transposition, du paradoxe, de l'inversion, du contraste et de la contradiction, afin d'illustrer une esthétique littéraire et de défendre une conception morale et religieuse associée à un mythe paradisiaque.

This 1983 book provides a serious modern literary treatment of perhaps the best known of all surviving works of ancient Greek fiction. Dr Hunter demonstrates the sophistication of this pastoral romance, a sophistication which he maintains has often been assumed but never properly discussed. Evidence for the identity of the author and the date of composition are also considered.
