Theokritos
[Born] 310. Syracuse
Died around 250 BCE. Greek poet. Founder of pastoral poetry. He traveled from Sicily to Cos and joined the circle of Philetas, then moved to Alexandria, and then settled again on Cos or a nearby island. His collection of poems, Eidyllia, consists of pastorals, mimos, doxology, hymns, epyllions, lyric poems, epigrams, and more. It is his pastoral Būkolika, which depicts shepherds singing and playing in the Sicilian countryside, that has made him immortal. Other mimos include Pharmakeutria, a monologue by a woman complaining to the moon about her unrequited love, and Adōniazūsai, which depicts two women going to the festival of Adonis. He had a profound influence on Roman poets such as Virgil.
