Theocritus: A Selection - Idylls 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11 and 13

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. It makes a major contribution to the understanding of pastoral poetry.
