Abstract

Twenty-two critical or exegetical remarks on Theocritus and Vergil’s bucolica are offered, twelve on Theocritus, ten on Vergil. Other passages of both poets are also discussed. The paper aims at demonstrating that there is still a lot of work to do to improve the text and understanding of these bucolica, also Vergil’s, which are more difficult than is generally realised.
