    The story of Daphnis and Chloé is a classic study in the gradual discovery of love: Daphnis and Chloé are both abandoned as infants by their well-off parents and raised separately by shepherds. They grow up togehter in a pastoral landscape tending to the farms of their foster parents. Daphnis and Chloé eventually fall in love, young naïve love, which they
    do not understand. A
    host of adventures and mythological creatures befall them
    to
    test their fidelities and concepts of friendship versus love.
