| Quote | “At the same time, it is also noteworthy, that Guramishvili knew the works of Theocritus and Vergil – as Theocritus is considered the father of Bucolic poetry […] The great Roman poet Vergil treaded along the road cleared by Theocritus. He is the first of Latin authors, who dedicated lofty stanzas to the idyll of shepherd’s life. Vergil has never mentioned Theocritus’ name, but he calls his Muse Sicilian, by which he discloses his primary source”. (pg. 244) |
