V časoch, kedy sa bohovia a nymfy starali o všetko živé na zemi, sa odohráva príbeh opustených detí Dafnisa a Chloé, ktoré našli a vychovávali pastieri uprostred krásnej prírody. Vyrastali spolu na pasienkoch, v tienistých hájoch a na slnečných stráňach. Pásli spolu stáda kôz a ovečiek, stali sa nerozlučnými priateľmi. Zamilovali sa do seba a pomocou bohov i vlastnou snahou prekonali nástrahy osudu.
