Eclogae
by Virgil
'Eclogae' Summary
Virgil's *Eclogues*, also known as *Bucolics*, is a collection of ten short poems written in the late 1st century BC. Set in the idyllic world of the Roman countryside, these poems feature shepherds and other rustic characters engaged in conversations and dialogues. The *Eclogues* are notable for their lyrical beauty, their exploration of themes of love, loss, and nature, and their references to Roman mythology and politics. Virgil uses the pastoral setting to create a sense of tranquility and innocence, while also exploring the complexities of human relationships and the political turmoil of the time.Book Details
