They cried from fear of what their master would do, but even a stranger would have cried if he had been there, for the place was completely ruined, and all the ground was now a muddy mess – except that any flowers that had escaped the assault still kept some bloom and shine and were still lovely even as they lay on the ground. The bees hung over them too, making a continuous, ceaseless humming, as though mourning. Lamon was shocked and said: "Oh the bed of roses – how they've been broken down! Oh, the bed of violets – how they've been trampled down! Oh, the hyacinths and narcissi, that some evil man has dug up! Spring will come, and they will not flower. Summer will come, and they will not reach full bloom. Another autumn will come, and they will not form a garland for anyone. Lord Dionysus, didn't you feel sorry for these poor flowers? You used to live beside them and look at them, and I often made you garlands with them. How shall I show the garden to the master now? And what will be his reaction when he sees it? There's an old man he'll string up on one of the pines, like Marsyas; and perhaps he'll think that goats did this and string up Daphnis too!"
At this point there were even hotter tears, and now they were not mourning for the flowers, but for their own bodies.
– Longus, from Daphnis and Chloe (2nd century AD), translated from Greek by Christopher Gill (1989)
