About this title

Synopsis

The Idylls and Epigrams Commonly Attributed to Theocritus: With English Notes is a book written by Theocritus and published in 1892. The book contains a collection of poems and short verses that are commonly attributed to the ancient Greek poet Theocritus. The poems are divided into two categories - idylls and epigrams. The idylls are pastoral poems that depict rural life and the beauty of nature, while the epigrams are short, witty verses that often satirize social and political figures of the time. The book is accompanied by English notes that provide context and explanation for the poems, making it accessible to readers who may not be familiar with the historical and cultural background of ancient Greece. Overall, The Idylls and Epigrams Commonly Attributed to Theocritus is a valuable resource for those interested in ancient Greek literature and poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
