The Eclogues, Georgics And Moretum Of Virgil (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163281352)

The Eclogues, Georgics And Moretum Of Virgil is a collection of three major works by the Roman poet Virgil. The Eclogues, also known as Bucolics, is a series of ten pastoral poems that explore themes of love, nature, and politics. The Georgics is a didactic poem in four books that focuses on agriculture and rural life, offering practical advice on farming and animal husbandry. The Moretum is a short poem that describes the making of a simple cheese spread, including the ingredients and the process of preparation. Virgil's works are considered some of the greatest masterpieces of Latin poetry, and they have had a profound influence on Western literature and culture. The Eclogues and Georgics are both written in dactylic hexameter, a form of verse that was widely used in ancient Greek and Roman epic poetry. The Moretum, on the other hand, is written in elegiac couplets, a form of verse that was often used for shorter poems and epitaphs.Overall, The Eclogues, Georgics And Moretum Of Virgil showcases Virgil's skill as a poet and his deep understanding of the natural world and human experience. It is a must-read for anyone interested in classical literature and the history of poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
