Writing Assignment: Daphnis and Chloe
Briefly explain Longus’ purpose in telling the story of Daphnis and Chloë, as set forth in the Prologue.
Daphnis and Chloë seek guidance from various sources -mortal and immortal- on how to ‘cure’, i.e., consummate their love. Give three examples, specifying the source and the advice. Also, cite Book and Chapter for each of your examples.
Daphnis is initiated into the “mysteries of Love” by Lycaenion. a) What is the narrator’s attitude toward the seduction of a 15-year-old boy by a mature married woman? Cite the narrator’s words to support your viewpoint. b) Why doesn’t he go immediately to Chloë in order to pass on Lycaenion’s “instruction” to her?
