Jeden z nejkrásnějších dochovaných starověkých románů s milostnou tematikou, pocházející patrně z konce 2., nebo 1. pol. třetího století n.l. Hlavním námětem je postupné rozvíjení milostného citu mezi dvěma nevinnými mladými lidmi, kteří nakonec uzavřou sńatek a naleznou své rodiče, o kterých dosud nevěděli. Mezi starověkými romány má toto dílko zvláštní postavení jak pastýřským prostředím v němž se odehrává, tak i tím, že je zde oproti jiným dochovaným památkám důsledně dodržována jednota místa a času.
