The Eclogues. E-book. Formato EPUB. Written between about 42 and 35 BC, &quot;The&nbsp;Eclogues&quot; (<i>also called the&nbsp;Bucolics</i>) is the first of the three major works of the&nbsp;Latin poet&nbsp;Virgil. &quot;The Eclogues&quot; is a remarkable achievement of Virgil&rsquo;s late twenties and shows that the poet, even at this early age, intended to develop a style distinct from those of his Greek and Roman predecessors. The ten-poem collection falls into three major categories: <i>Theocritean</i>, <i>non-Theocritean</i> and the <i>Daphnis</i> poems.<br /><br />Virgil invites the reader to bear witness to life in &ldquo;<i>Arcadia</i>,&rdquo; a place created by poetry, an idealized rural scene where people live in harmony with nature.
