These pastoral works transport readers to the ancient Greek countryside, where shepherds and goatherds meet in shady groves to exchange songs and stories. The most famous idyll tells of Daphnis, a legendary cowherd who vowed eternal faithfulness to his first love. When Love seeks revenge by testing his devotion, Daphnis faces a choice between constancy and desire, leading to tragic consequences mourned by wild creatures and divine figures alike.
