Texts in Greek with English translations on facing pages ; introduction in English
"Theocritus (early third century BC), born in Syracuse and also active on Cos and
at Alexandria, was the inventor of the bucolic genre. Like his contemporary Callimachus,
Theocritus was a learned poet who followed the aesthetic, developed a generation earlier
by Philitas of Cos (LCL 508), of refashioning traditional literary forms in original
ways through tightly organized and highly polished work on a small scale (thus the
traditional generic title Idylls: "little forms"). Although Theocritus composed in
a variety of genres or generic combinations, including encomium, epigram, hymn, mime,
and epyllion, he is best known for the poems set in the countryside, mostly dialogues
or song-contests, that combine lyric tone with epic meter and the Doric dialect of
his native Sicily to create an idealized and evocatively described pastoral landscape,
whose lovelorn inhabitants, presided over by the Nymphs, Pan, and Priapus, use song
as a natural mode of expression. The bucolic/pastoral genre was developed by the second
and third members of the Greek bucolic canon, Moschus (fl. mid-second century BC,
also from Syracuse) and Bion (fl. some fifty years later, from Phlossa near Smyrna),
and remained vital through Greco-Roman antiquity and into the modern era." -- Jacket
