Books by Virgil

Using the template laid out by the poems of Theocritus, Virgil makes a Roman version that lays out several mythic and political revolutions that make it quite different than the Greek counterpart. The image of the singing farmers and the embracing or suffering through revolutionary love and the happiness or unhappiness is causes.

A poem written in four books that focus on the ways and life of the agriculturalists of the ancient Greeks. These poems open up with a prayer to the agricultural deities of ancient Greece and then expanding later into a philosophical work dealing with how the agricultural life of the typical farmer is something that should model the lives of all humans in all times.
