EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures the moment of innocent love between Daphnis and Chloe, two legendary figures from Greek mythology. The scene is set in the idyllic landscape of Lesbos, where the sun casts a warm glow over the lush woodland. Daphnis, a shepherd boy, tenderly shares a story with Chloe, his beloved, as they sit beneath the shade of a tree. The tale he tells is that of the wood pigeon, a bird they often hear cooing in the forest. According to myth, the wood pigeon was once a beautiful nymph named Myrtille, who was loved by the god Dionysus. However, her jealous stepmother, Perimede, transformed her into a bird as punishment. Daphnis finishes his story, looking into Chloe's eyes with a loving expression, as she listens intently, her hand resting gently on his. The scene exudes a sense of historical and classical beauty, transporting us back to a time of simple pleasures and innocent love. The wood pigeon, a symbol of fidelity and devotion, adds an extra layer of meaning to this heartfelt moment between Daphnis and Chloe.
