Produced by Sophia Canoni
"Δάφνης και Χλόη" by Longus is a pastoral novel likely written in the early centuries of the Common Era. The story revolves around two central characters, Daphnis and Chloe, who are separated from their parents and raised as shepherds in the beautiful countryside of Lesbos. Their innocent love story unfolds as they navigate the challenges of growing up and discovering the nature of love, which serves as a central theme of the work. The opening of the novel introduces us to the idyllic setting of Lesbos and the lives of the two main characters. It describes how both Daphnis and Chloe are found as abandoned infants, each nurtured by different shepherds who adopt them. As they grow up, they share experiences in the lush, pastoral environment, mimicking the songs of birds and the movements of animals around them. The narrative presents a serene portrait of their lives, portraying a blossoming friendship that slowly morphs into romantic interest, framed by the beauty of nature and the innocence of youth. Their adventures and interactions foreshadow the central conflicts driven by love and exploration of identity that will come to define their journey. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
