George Barbier, Les Amours pastorales de Daphnis et Chloé, 1918.

The subject of Daphnis and Chloe is distinguished from other Greek novels by its bucolic setting and the constant irony which governs the course of the action.

It is above all their sentimental education which is described throughout the adventures of the novel. The two protagonists live in the countryside, near the city of Mytilene on the islandof Lesbos. Daphnis is a young goatherd, a child found by shepherds (in a laurel grove, hence his name which comes from the ancient Greek δάφνη (daphnè), laurel). Chloé, for her part, is a shepherdess, also a foundling. They grow up in a pastoral setting and fall in love with each other, but multiple twists and turns prevent them from satisfying their love. However, the outcome is a comedy: the two children are recognized by their respective parents, who are rich people from Mytilene, lifelong friends, and who are going to marry them.

On Bright Tuesday, we celebrate the Holy Newly Revealed Martyrs Raphael, Nicholas, Irene and all those with them. For around 500 years the story of these saints was unknown until in 1959 they started appearing to various people in dreams, telling them where their relics were buried and how they were martyred. Having found their fragrant relics, a monastery was built over the site and the saints continue to perform countless miracles to this day. Although they were martyred by invading Turks on April 9, this was in fact Bright Tuesday of that year and so, their feast is kept on this day. May they intercede for us all + #saint #saints #raphael #nicholas #irene #saintraphael #saintnicholas #saintirene #newlyrevealed #turks #monastery #relics #holyrelics #mytilene #feastday #brighttuesday #bright #tuesday #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Thérmi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcynDF2v1MH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
