Longus
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Distinguish". Script error: No such module "other uses".
Longus, sometimes Longos (Template:Langx), 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 first word of Daphnis and Chloe's title Λεσβιακῶν ἐρωτικῶν λόγοι ("story of a Lesbian romance", "Lesbian" for "from Lesbos island") in the Florentine manuscript; EE Seiler observes that the best manuscript begins and ends with λόγου (not λόγγου) ποιμενικῶν.[1][2]
If his name was really Longus, he was possibly a freedman of some Roman family which bore that name as a cognomen.
