To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
bring out the beans and barley and figs. . . . Syra, call Manes in from the fields . . . Let's have some hare three plates for us and one for father call Charinades in for a drink as you pass, for God guards the harvest. When the cicala sings his sweet song, I love to watch the Lemnian grapes and see if they are full for that kind ripens early. And the fig I wait till it be soft to pluck and eat. And I bless the kindly seasons, and I grate and mix the thyme ; so I grow fat and fatter, while the... summer lasts. " 1 These must stand for many like passages in which there is evidence of the old love of country joys and country scenes. And this love was more genuine in fifth century Athens than in the Alex- andria of the days of Theocritus or in the London of the days when pastoral plays were written. For the life of the countryside was known in Athens to be more full-blooded than pastoral poetry implies. There were no china shepherdesses in the minds of the old school : and even the sentimentalism of bucolic poetry had not yet appeared.
