, regards the revelation of physical knowledge as a fitting theme for poetic treatment. So in the first Aeneid, the ' Song of lopas ' is said to be about ' the wandering moon and the toils of the sun ; the origin of man and beast, water and fire, ' etc. The revelation of the secrets of Nature seems to float before the imagination of Virgil as the highest consummation of his poetic faculty. (2) We note here how, as afterwards in the Georgics, he accepts the philosophical ideas of creation, side ...by side with the super- natural tales of mythology. He seems to regard such tales as those here introduced as part of the religious traditions of the human race, and as a link which connects man with the gods. In the Georgics we find also the same effort to reconcile, or at least to combine, the conceptions 1 i. 496.
THE ECLOGUES. 145 of science with mythological fancies. In this effort we recognise the influence of other Alexandrine poets rather than of Theocritus. (3) The introduction of Gallus in the midst of the mythological figures of the poem, and the account of the honour paid to him by the Muses and of the office assigned to him by Linus, are, characteristic of the art of the Eclogues, which is not so much allegorical as composite.
