This striking woodland scene portrays the story written by the Greek novelist, Longos, a Bysantine, in the fourth century.  It is a love story about Daphnis, our hero and our heroine, Chloe.  Both Daphnis and Chloe (unrelated to each other by birth), were exposed at birth, a common practice at the time. They were found and adopted by a goatherd named Lamon and a Shepherd called Dryas. The children grew up together and eventually fell in love.
