| 520 | _a"Theocritus, Bion and Moschus, Rendered into English Prose by Andrew Lang is a collection of pastoral poetry and poetic narratives written during the late 19th century. This compilation includes works from Theocritus, known as the father of pastoral poetry, along with verses from Bion and Moschus, exploring themes of rural life, love, and natural beauty. Through their idyllic idyls, these poets capture the simplicity and essence of pastoral existence, featuring characters that often include shepherds and rural figures amidst the southern landscapes of Sicily and surrounding regions. At the start of this prose rendering, readers are introduced to Theocritus and his background as a Syracusan poet who flourished in the third century before Christ. The opening sections delve into a brief biography of Theocritus, the historical context of his work as it laid the foundation for pastoral poetry, and the social influences that shaped his art. The first idyl presented features Thyrsis, a shepherd, and the goatherd who engage in a lyrical exchange, contemplating themes of love and loss through the Song of Daphnis, setting the tone for a rich exploration of human emotions intimately connected with nature."
