The Idylls by Theocritus
Theocritus (308-204 BC) was a Greek Bucolic poet who established the formal characteristics, setting and tone of the pastoral. "The Idylls" evokes the life and arts of the shepherds of his native Sicily, maintaining a balance between idealization and local realism.
Richard Hunter is Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge University. He is the author of many books, including Theocritus: A Selection (1999) and Theocritus and the Archaeology of Greek Poetry (1996).
