Longus: Daphnis and Chloe. v1 29 Apr 2016

Daphnis and Chloe is a story from 2nd or 3rd Century CE Greece about two babies who were exposed at birth, suckled by a goat or a sheep, and adopted by peasant slaves. They grew up to fall in love with each other but did not realise that they were in love, or know what to do about it. After various adventures they were re-united with their rich parents, married, and found out.

London in the 19th century had several Athenian Societies, including one which privately published Greek literature in numbered limited editions with the original Greek on the verso pages and an English translation on the recto pages.

The English text of this ebook is taken from Copy 35, found on the Internet Archive. Page 102 is missing or illegible, and the text was replaced from the same edition in Wikisource.

I have included part of the Athenian Society's Introduction, and silently corrected typos and hyphenation using oxforddictionaries.com. The cover is adapted from Wikimedia.
