Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a seminal work on ancient Greek poetry, consists of translated poems by Theocritus, Moschus, and Bion, along with commentaries by an unnamed author. Theocritus, the leading figure among them, has been hailed since Virgil's day as the creator of pastoral poetry. This book presents Theocritus' Idylls, Moschus' Lament for Bion, and Bion's Adonis, which are not true pastorals but explore, among other themes, the idealized world of the goatherd and shepherd. The poems are a tribute to nature and countryside life and reflect the rustic culture of ancient Greece. The commentaries provide context and interpretation, exploring the language, structure, and themes of the poems and offering insights into their historical and literary context. Through these poems and commentaries, the reader gains a deep understanding of a significant literary genre's genesis and evolution and the society that produced it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780243260218_0
