Theocritus, translated into English Verse
301 BCE-261 BCE Theocritus and Charles Stuart Calverley
Before Virgil there was Theocritus, the Greek poet who invented the pastoral. His Idylls, here in Calverley's graceful English verse, bring shepherds, singing contests, and Sicilian summers to life. The fountainhead of all country poetry, fresh after two thousand years. Meet the herdsmen and lovers who taught literature to sing of the fields.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
