Description
An audio love story by the ancient Greek author Longus, 2nd–3rd century AD: a fairy tale about love, “DAFNIS AND CHLOE.” The author sets the main task of his book—to show the triumph of love. He transfers the traditions of bucolic poetry into prose (BUCOLIC is a genre of ancient poetry that idealistically depicts rural life and the everyday life of shepherds; types of bucolic include idyll, pastoral, and eclogue). Centuries later, Longus’s novel is valued precisely for its poetic attitude toward the most ordinary scenes of life. The names Daphnis and Chloe became classic names of pastoral.
(One of the forms of bucolic— a genre of Western European literature and art of the 14th–18th centuries— a small piece of a loving-lyrical character from the life of shepherds.)
