Le bouvier dans la poésie hellénistique et le roman grec

Cowherds in Hellenistic Poetry and Greek Novel
Il bovaro nella poesia ellenistica e il romanzo greco
Edited by Jérôme Bastick, Christophe Cusset and Claire Vieilleville

In bucolic poetry, the cowherd is with the other herdsmen an essential and eminent character—starting with the legendary and founding figure of Daphnis. But the presence of the cowherd is not limited to this precise generic universe, but he is also populating the space of various other literary genres since Homer and archaic poetry.

The texts in this volume relate two competing representations of the cowherd in Hellenistic poetry and in the novel of the imperial period; they aim to highlight the poetic, dramatic and anthropological potentialities of this pastoral figure.
