"This companion to Theocritus reflects important developments in the last few decades and offers a valuable basis for future research. (...) A strength of the volume is its willingness to engage with not only the Idylls but also the epigrams attributed to Theocritus. (...) Another strength of the volume is its attention to textual history and the Theocritean scholia.(...) Anyone who wishes to contribute to the future of Theocritean studies is advised to start by consulting this volume."<br />
Matthew Chaldekas in <i>BMCR 24.05.39</i>

Through the variety of its scholarly perspectives, Brill Companion to Theocritus offers a tool for the study of one of antiquity’s foremost poets. Offering a thorough examination of textual transmission, ancient commentaries, literary dialect, and poetic forms, the present volume considers Theocritus’ work from novel theoretical perspectives, such as gender and emotions. It expands the usual field of inquiry to include religion, and the poet’s reception in Late Antiquity and early modern times. The various chapters promote Theocritus’ profile as an erudite poet, who both responds to and inaugurates a rich and variegated tradition. The combination of these various perspectives places Theocritus at the crossroads of Ptolemaic patronage, contemporary society, and art.
