Hmm, seems kinda open-ended, but OK, I'll bite.
Did you know?
The scene in Longus' "Daphnis and Chloe" where Daphnis fetches the single remaning apple from the very top of a tree is actually a reference to a poem by Sappho, the surviving fragment of which consists of only the few opening lines (Lobel-Page fr. 105).
Oh, did you mean "interesting" to other people as well?
