The Eclogues, also called the Bucolics, is the first of the three major works of the Latin poet Virgil. Virgil's book contains ten pieces, each called not an idyll but an eclogue (draft or selection or reckoning), populated by and large with herdsmen imagined conversing and performing amoebaean singing in largely rural settings, whether suffering or embracing revolutionary change or happy or unhappy love. Performed with great success on the Roman stage, they feature a mix of visionary politics and eroticism that made Virgil a celebrity, legendary in his own lifetime.
