 The origins of the "Diana and Actaeon Pas de Deux," a "divertissement" created for a 1935 version of "La Esmeralda," lie in two earlier ballet productions.The first of these was "Tsar Kandavl or Le Roi Candaule", premiered in 1868 by the Imperial Russian Ballet in Saint Petersburg.Based on a story told by Herodotus in his "Histories," this four-act ballet, choreographed by Marius Petipa to music by Cesare Pugni, included a "pas de trois" for dancers portraying Diana, the Roman goddess of the moon, the hunt, and chastity; Endymion, a beautiful shepherd, and a Satyr.
