Description:

This is a new annotated translation of the Greek poems of Theocritus of Syracuse (first half of the third century BC), the inventor of "bucolic" or "pastoral" poetry, the principal model for Virgil in the Eclogues, and hence a major figure in the literary traditions that antiquity bequeathed to Western literature.
