His poetic style is finished and at times artificial, but the bucolic characters in his idyls seem alive. Theocritus has been widely imitated (e.g., by such poets as Vergil and Spenser).

Theocritus

Born late fourth century B.C.; died first half of the third century B.C. Greek poet.

Theocritus was a native of either Syracuse in Sicily or the island of Cos. He invented the idyll and introduced the shepherd longing for love as a stock figure. Theocritus’ depictions of city dwellers are in the tradition of Sophron’s mimes. The interest the poet took in the daily life of ordinary people constitutes the artistic and thematic importance of his work. Theocritus was consistent in his compositional form, using dialogues or stories told in song. His style is sometimes sophisticated in its treatment of mythology and sometimes deliberately naive. Approximately 30 idylls attributed to Theocritus survive, but not all of them are considered genuine.
