Synopsis:

Excerpt from The Idyllia and Other Poems That Are Extant of Bion and Moschus: Translated From the Greek Into English Verse; To Which Are Added a Few Other Translations, With Notes Critical and Explanatory

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book consists of translated collections of poems from two of the most revered poets of ancient Greece: Bion and Moschus. Both authors lived during the 2nd century BCE and were leading members of the bucolic tradition of poetry, which has significantly influenced the Western poetic tradition. Moschus is especially renowned for his elegy on the death of Bion, entitled Elegy on the Death of Bion, and both authors are particularly well-known for their amatory and idyllic poems, or poems that focus on the beauty of nature and love, respectively. Many of the poems in this book are considered masterpieces of these styles and have deeply influenced the work of countless poets since. This book provides a comprehensive overview of Bion and Moschus' work and allows the reader an invaluable opportunity to engage with their timeless and lyrically beautiful poetry.
