Book Overview

The Sicilian Idyls of Theocritus: Idyls 1-13 is a book by Marion Mills Miller, published in 1899. The book contains a collection of thirteen idyls, or short poems, written by the ancient Greek poet Theocritus. The idyls are set in the pastoral landscapes of Sicily and depict the lives of shepherds, farmers, and other rural inhabitants. The poems are characterized by their vivid descriptions of nature, their use of dialect, and their depictions of everyday life in ancient Greece. Miller's translation of the idyls is considered to be one of the most accurate and faithful to the original Greek text.
