Focusing on the concept of fictionality, this work delves into the poetry of Theocritus, exploring how his verses blur the lines between reality and imagination. It analyzes the narrative techniques and thematic elements that contribute to the illusion of authenticity in his pastoral scenes. By examining the interplay between the poet and his characters, the book offers insights into the artistic and philosophical implications of fiction in ancient poetry.
