Eclogues | Virgil

Virgil (70 19 BCE) was a poet of immense virtuosity and influence. His "Eclogues" deal with bucolic life and love, his "Georgics" with tillage, trees, cattle, and bees. His "Aeneid" is an epic on the theme of Rome s origins. Poems of the "Appendix Vergiliana" are traditionally, but in most cases probably wrongly, attributed to Virgil.
