About This Item
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine. 1999. Softcover. 052157420X . Scholar's name to ffep (D. Gerber). ; This volume contains the text of eight poems by the third-century BC Greek poet Theocritus, together with an introduction and extensive commentary. This is the first full-scale commentary on the work of Theocritus since Gow's edition of 1950, and is the first to exploit the recent revolution in the study of Hellenistic and Roman poetry. It offers new readings of all the poems, which show both how Theocritus differs from subsequent pastoral poetry, and how his poems, through their influence on Virgil, established the Western pastoral tradition. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 324 pages .
