Virgil weaves tensions between human labor and nature's hostility, golden ages and present struggles, peaceful rural life and violent destruction. The poem moves from technical advice through praise of Italy to animal husbandry, concluding with bees as a model for society and the haunting tale of Orpheus and Eurydice nested within.
