Source text (please read only from this text!): https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=inu.32000007739719&view=1up&seq=7Daphnis and Chloe is an Ancient Greek prose work, probably written during the second century EC, by Longus. It tells the story of two young people, Daphnis and Chloe, both abandoned at birth, along with some identifying objects. A goatherd named Lamon raises the boy Daphnis as his son, and a shepherd called Dryas finds Chloe, and also decides to raise her. They both grow up as neighbors herding the flocks in the island of Lesbos. They fall in love with each other, but have to go through many adventures and hardships, including abduction and pirate attacks, until they find their happy ending. (Summary by Leni)
