3	Theocritus' Pastoral Analogies: The Formation of a Genre more books like this by Kathryn J Gutzwiller add to wishlist The author uses the "Idylls" of Theocritus to show us the formative processes at work in the creation of a literary genre - the pastoral - and how the very structure of a genre both shapes and limits judgments about it. Gutzwiller argues that Theocritus' position as the first pastoralist has haunted critical assessments of him. Was he merely a ... see all copies from $5.40! new only from $18.15!

6	Theocritus and the Invention of Fiction more books like this by Mark Payne add to wishlist The bucolic Idylls of Theocritus are the first literature to invent a fully fictional world that is not an image of reality but an alternative to it. It is thereby distinguished from the other Idylls and from Hellenistic poetry as a whole. This book examines these poems in the light of ancient and modern conceptions of fictionality. It explores ... see all copies from $19.95! new only from $19.95!
7	The Pastoral Narcissus: A Study of the First Idyll of Theocritus more books like this by Clayton Zimmerman add to wishlist This treatment of the "First Idyll" demonstrates that Theocritus is evoking the Narcissus myth.
