{"product_id":"the-idylls-of-theokritos-9780911198058","title":"The Idylls of Theokritos","description":"These thirty Idylls, written by the Sicilian Theokritos in the third century B.C., present the charms of rustic life in learned, polished verse aimed at a sophisticated audience. A bucolic paradise is seen \"through the eyes of city men going to the harvest festival for a holiday, to rest their bodies and minds for awhile in nature's beauty and bounty-not unprovided with well-aged wine.\" In this handsome volume, which won the Best Poetry Award at the 1963 Indiana Author's Day, Professor Mills translates them into modern English verse that preserves the pastoral quality of the original but emphasizes those qualities of Theokritos that speak most directly to the modern reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barriss Mills\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Purdue University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.07w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780911198058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMills, Barriss:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \"Barriss Mills is the author of two volumes of poetry - \u003ci\u003eThe Black and White Geometry\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eParvenus and Ancestors\u003c\/i\u003e - and has contributed poems and prose to many magazines.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Purdue University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44233583100019,"sku":"9.78091E+12","price":55.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_6a248e24-c0d7-4a00-be89-5bfdc8dc3b26.jpg?v=1768744394","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-idylls-of-theokritos-9780911198058","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
