Excerpt from Programm zum Hundertsten Jahrestage des Todes Johann Joachim Winckelmann's im Namen des Archäologischen Museums der Universität Jena
Weit entfernt, mit seinen bukolischen Gesängen einen didaktischen Zweck zu verbinden, etwa dem in raffinirte Genusssucht versunkenen Städter jenes einfache N nturleben als ein zu erstreben des Musterbild vorzuführen lässt er die Schwächen und lächerlichen Seiten der Landbevölkerung den löblichen Eigenschaften derselben mindestens die Stange halten und giesst einen reichlichen Strom satirischen Rumors über seine Helden aus.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive study of the third-century BC Greek poet Theocritus. The author places Theocritus in the tradition of bucolic poetry and argues that his work celebrates nature while acknowledging the imperfections of rural life. While this book is divided into seven chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Theocritus's work, it is united by the idea that Theocritus's poetry is both a reflection of his time and a timeless exploration of the human condition. Through analysis of Theocritus's poems about love, loss, and the natural world, the author reveals a poet who was both a master of his craft and a profound observer of human nature. This book will be of interest to scholars of ancient Greek literature, students of poetry, and anyone interested in the history of literature and ideas.
