2	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.

6	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.
