A few days later, the vines were harvested, the sweet new wine was in jars, and there was no longer any need for many hands. Daphnis and Chloe drove their flocks down to the plain and, in a happy mood, worshipped the Nymphs, bringing them bunches of grapes still on the shoots as firstfruits of the grape harvest. Not that they ever went past them and neglected them before; they always visited them when they went to pasture and worshiped them when they left the pasture and without fail brought them some kind of offering, a flower or a fruit or some green leaves or a libation of milk. For this, they received a reward from the goddesses later on. But at that time, as people say, "The dogs were let off the lead": they jumped, played the pipes, sang, and wrestled with their goats and sheep.
– Longus, from Daphnis and Chloe (2nd century AD), translated from Greek by Christopher Gill (1989)
