Summary "Les pastorales de Longus, ou Daphnis et Chloé" by Longus is a classic romantic novel written in the late ancient period. This work is one of the earliest examples of pastoral literature and revolves around the love story between two characters, Daphnis and Chloé, who are both raised by shepherds in the idyllic landscapes of Lesbos. The text not only explores themes of love and nature but also portrays the challenges and joys faced by the two protagonists as they navigate their feelings for each other. At the start of the novel, the narrator describes the beauty of the island of Lesbos and introduces two central characters: Daphnis and Chloé, each discovered and raised by separate shepherds. Daphnis is found by Lamon while he is nurturing a young goat, and Chloé is discovered by a nearby shepherd named Dryas, who raises her as his daughter. As they grow up together, the two children develop a deep bond, engaging in playful activities and tending to their flocks of sheep and goats. However, their innocent companionship soon leads them to experience the stirrings of love, setting the stage for the romantic conflicts and adventures that are to follow.
