I will talk about the moduli space $M_D$ of Desargues configurations and
how to define a holomorphic map from $M_D$ to $M^b_6$ the moduli space of
stable binary forms of degree 6. The construction of the map goes back
to the greek mathematician C.~Stephanos who published a paper about
this in 1883, using classical geometric invariant theory.  I will put
this in a contemporary context and give a new proof of the properties
of the map. This is joint work with H.~Lange.
