Eclogues
by Virgil
'Eclogues' Summary
Virgil's *Eclogues* is a collection of ten short poems written in the late 40s BC. The poems, known as eclogues, are a form of pastoral poetry, set in the idyllic countryside and focusing on the lives of shepherds and other rural characters. They often feature themes of love, loss, nature, and the changing times, and sometimes allude to contemporary political and social issues. Though written within the context of Roman society, the *Eclogues* have resonated across time due to their universal themes and lyrical language, making them a cornerstone of both ancient Roman and Western literature.Book Details
