Project Gutenberg 1995-03-01 Public domain in the USA. 278 Virgil -70 -19 Vergil Vergilius Maro, Publius Publio Virgilio Marón Marón, Publio Virgilio The Bucolics and Eclogues "The Bucolics and Eclogues by Virgil" is a collection of pastoral poems likely written during the late Roman Republic, around the 1st century BC. Through a series of idyllic dialogues among shepherds, the work touches on themes of love, nature, and the effects of socio-political turmoil. In its poetic form, the book reflects the beauty of rural life while interweaving deeper reflections on loss and the human condition. The text comprises ten eclogues, where characters like Meliboeus, Tityrus, and Corydon express their emotions and stories against the backdrop of the countryside. In the first eclogue, Tityrus enjoys his freedom granted by a divine figure, contrasting with Meliboeus’ sorrowful exile. Subsequent eclogues explore themes of unrequited love, rivalry among shepherds, and the influence of gods on mortal lives. Through rich imagery and emotional depth, Virgil captures the complexities of human experiences amidst the simplicity of rural existence, alluding to contemporary issues of displacement and the longing for peace.
