Theocritus, Bion And Moschus by Andrew Lang
This book is a collection of poetic works by the ancient Greek poets Theocritus, Bion, and Moschus, translated into English by Andrew Lang. Theocritus, known as the father of pastoral poetry, presents idyllic scenes of rural life and love, often in the form of dialogues between shepherds. Bion and Moschus continue this tradition, focusing on themes of nature, mythology, and lamentation. Lang's translations aim to preserve the lyrical beauty and emotional depth of the original Greek texts, making these ancient pastoral poems accessible and enjoyable to a modern audience.
