The work was set on the Greek island of Lesbos, which indicated that Longus, (whether a native of the island or not), knew it well enough to have lived there.

 Culture in Roman Asia Minor, 2nd Century C.E.: Longus: Daphnis and Chloe
It was written in a strange combination of prose and poetry that gives the language a poetic element, but allows the text to remain fuller in detail as in prose.
Longus utilized rhyme, alliteration, sound effects (such as using words with "sh's" in them in a sentence about flowing water), and rhythm.
Longus claimed to have based the storyline on a series of paintings he saw in the Grove of the Nymphs of Lesbos and paintings of rural, country life were very popular at the time.

 The Accessory Flexor Digitorum Longus as a Cause of Flexor Hallucis Syndrome
We report a patient with an accessory flexor digitorum longus who presented with classical clinical features of the syndrome.
When the ankle was held in dorsiflexion, there was limited dorsiflexion of the lateral toes, which were tethered by the "cork-in-a-bottle" effect of the distal muscle mass of the accessory flexor digitorum longus muscle at the flexor retinaculum and fibro-osseous canal of the flexor hallucis longus.
The MRI examination confirmed the presence of an abnormal muscle mass extending distal to the ankle joint with the foot in neutral.
