This NASA image released March 28, 2019, shows how during super-close flybys of Saturn's rings, NASA's Cassini spacecraft inspected the mini-moons Pan and
Daphnis in the A ring; Atlas at the edge of the A ring; Pandora at the edge of the F ring; and Epimetheus, which is bathed in material that fans out from the moon Enceladus, the mini-moons' diameter ranges from 5 miles (8 kilometers) for
Daphnis to 72 miles (116 kilometers) for Epimetheus, the rings and the moons depicted in this illustration are not to scale.
The scene in Longus, where Lycaenion sexually initiates
Daphnis, is a case in point.
This is the first time
Daphnis has stepped out from the company to present his own work.

Daphnis et Chloe, commissioned by Serge Diaghilev.
Although he has been plying his trade in handicaps this season the four-year-old does already boast a victory at this level to his name after landing the Prix
Daphnis at Chantilly last June.
2, and his production of
Daphnis et Chloe was in the works long before he was even in the running for the coveted director gig, but this was the perfect opportunity for ballet fans and critics alike to train their eyes on the director-to-be.
Ravel's

Le celebre choregraphe, Jean Claude Gallotta, presente ce pas de trois, il en a moins retenu l'argument (Chloe, epouse du jeune berger
Daphnis, enlevee par des pirates est ramenee a lui par un miracle du Dieu Pan) qu'il a travaille le mouvement, saisi l'energie, la douceur, la violence de la joute amoureuse.
At the heart of Ravel the Decadent is an extensive consideration of the composer's magnum opus,
Daphnis et Chloe, which Puri addresses in all but one of the book's six chapters.
Puri identifies this conflict in Ravel's music: for example, in the dialectical relationship between the idyll and the bacchanal movements of his ballet
Daphnis et Chloe.
The topics include less than ideal paradigms in the Greek novel, the literary context of Anthia's dream in Xenophon's Ephesiaca, Platonic love and erotic education in Longus'
Daphnis and Chloe, poets and shepherds in Philetas and Longus, and further thoughts on the divided cloak in the Historia Apollonii regis Tyri.
I was dazzled by the brilliance and chutzpah of David Briggs' transcription / recreation of three pieces from Ravel's ballet
Daphnis and Chlo.
