Produktbeschreibung

Inspired by the innovations of Theocritus, Moschus of Syracuse and Bion of Smyrna further developed the bucolic genre of poetry. Their extant works describe pastoral scenes of rural life in a classical style, composed in dactylic hexameters and Doric dialect. The three members of the bucolic canon were highly regarded throughout Greco-Roman antiquity and into the modern era.
