Longus, sometimes Longos ((ギリシア語:Λόγγος)), was the author of an ancient Greek novel or romance, ''Daphnis and Chloe''. Nothing is known of his life; it is assumed that he lived on the isle of Lesbos (setting for ''Daphnis and Chloe'') during the 2nd century AD . It has been suggested that the name Longus is merely a misinterpretation of the last word of ''Daphnis and Chloes title ''Λεσβιακῶν ἐρωτικῶν λόγοι'' ("story of a Lesbian romance", "Lesbian" for "from Lesbos island") in the Florentine manuscript; Seiler also observes that the best manuscript begins and ends with ''λόγου'' (not ''λόγγου'') ''ποιμενικῶν''. If his name was really Longus, he was probably a freedman of some Roman family which bore that name as a cognomen. ==See also== Other ancient Greek novelists: * Chariton - The Loves of Chaereas and Callirhoe * Xenophon of Ephesus - The Ephesian Tale * Achilles Tatius - Leucippe and Clitophon * Heliodorus of Emesa - The Aethiopica 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Longus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
