'Eucritus and I and pretty Amyntas turned aside To the farm of Phrasidamus, where we sank down With pleasure on deep-piled couches of sweet rushes, And vine leaves freshly stripped from the bush.' The Greek poet Theocritus of Syracuse (first half of the third century BC) was the inventor of 'bucolic' poetry. These vignettes of country life, centred on competitions in song and love, are the foundational poems of the western pastoral tradition. They were the principal model for Virgil in the Eclogues and their influence can be seen in the work of Petrarch and Milton. Although it is the pastoral poems for which he is chiefly famous, Theocritus also wrote hymns to the gods, brilliant mime depictions of everyday life, short narrative epics, epigrams, and encomia of the powerful. The great variety of his poems illustrates the rich and flourishing poetic culture of what was a golden age for Greek poetry.

田園牧歌的fantasies
評分Theocritus是西方牧歌(bucolic poetry)的鼻祖。盡管設定都是在自然環境,牧歌跟更為人熟悉的田園詩歌(pastoral poetry)是不一樣的:田園詩把自然作為逃離城市煩囂最高尚的庇護所,但牧歌的核心主題其實是愛情 - 特彆是愛情的失落 - 靜穆的自然風光反而更強烈地烘托齣內心的煎熬與不安。 我最喜歡的是第11首,關於獨眼巨人(Cyclops)的少年時候。荷馬史詩《奧德賽》中凶殘的獨眼巨人,在這首詩裏被描繪成一位為情所睏的靦腆少年:他喜歡上美麗的海女,卻苦於自己的容顔而不敢錶白(他隻有一隻眼。。。)。他隻能每天領著他的羊群到海邊,以歌聲舒緩相思之痛。 正是這一首美麗的詩,讓我愛上瞭古希臘文學,十多年來一直沒改變,這個以後有機會再說。
評分一眼掃過去,十個詞八個看不懂????
