Reading Daphnis and Chloe | Alexandria
Read Daphnis and Chloe by Longus. Revealing how an ancient Greek romance pioneered radical ideas about desire, Daphnis and Chloe shatters myths about "primitive" sexuality. Longus shows love's education requires wilderness, not civilization - a striking challenge to urban assumptions about relationships. His pastoral utopia suggests we've regressed in understanding intimacy's natural roots.
