I had a lot of favorite parts of Daphnis and Chloe. I guess I loved it when Daphnis said he would not hurt Chloe. I could not stand to cause her pain and to draw blood. That was very sweet and highly unlike a teenage boy. I thought a lot of the action parts were kind of confusing and random. I did love how they were very responsible. I also loved how Chloe's father did not allow anyone else to marry her.
The part I thought was very odd, was the part about how Daphnis went to see Chloe during the winter/spring months. What I thought was odd was the part where Daphnis kisses Chloe's dad and sleeps with him. It says on page 177 of the Greek Fiction book, "Daphnis enjoyed an empty pleasure: he thought it was delightful to sleep even with Chole's father, so he threw his arms around him and kissed him repeatedly, dreaming that he was doing all this to Chloe." Ummmm. Can you say Weird???
