In this collection of Greek fiction written between the first and fourth centuries AD, "Callirhoe" is the stirring tale of star-crossed lovers Chaereas and Callirhoe, torn apart when she is kidnapped and sold as a slave, while "Daphnis and Chloe" tells of a boy and girl abandoned at birth, who grow up to fall in love and battle pirates.
