Written between about 42 and 35 BC, "The Eclogues" ( also called the Bucolics ) is the first of the three major works of the Latin poet Virgil. "The Eclogues" is a remarkable achievement of Virgil’s late twenties and shows that the poet, even at this early age, intended to develop a style distinct from those of his Greek and Roman predecessors. The ten-poem collection falls into three major categories: Theocritean , non-Theocritean and the Daphnis poems. Virgil invites the reader to bear witness to life in “ Arcadia ,” a place created by poetry, an idealized rural scene where people live in harmony with nature.…mehr

Virgil (70 BC-19 BC) was a Roman poet. He was born near Mantua in northern Italy. Educated in rhetoric, medicine, astronomy, and philosophy, Virgil moved to Rome where he was known as a particularly shy member of Catullus' literary circle. Suffering from poor health for most of his life, Virgil began his career as a poet while studying Epicureanism in Naples. Around 38 BC, he published the Eclogues, a series of pastoral poems in the style of Hellenistic poet Theocritus. In 29 BC, Virgil published his next work, the Georgics, a long didactic poem on farming in the tradition of Hesiod's Works and Days. In the last decade of his life, Virgil worked on his masterpiece the Aeneid, an epic poem commissioned by Emperor Augustus. Expanding upon the story of the Trojan War as explored in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, the Aeneid follows the hero Aeneas from the destruction of Troy to the discovery of the region that would later become Rome. Posthumously considered Rome's national poet, Virgil's reputation has grown through the centuries-in large part for his formative influence on Dante's Divine Comedy-to secure his position as a foundational figure for all of Western literature.
