About This Book

An unfinished pastoral fragment opens with a shepherd named Tirtée tending his flock on Mount Lycée and observing a storm-tossed sea; he meets two travelers seeking the road to Argos, whose playful dog chases a white goat, prompting a hospitable invitation to shelter for the night and to join a festival of Jupiter. The narrative blends vivid natural description—coastline, groves, rills, rustic dwelling—and gentle characterization of rural life, ritual, and mythic echoes, delivering a lyrical, Telemachus-inspired evocation of Arcadian landscapes and social rites rather than a completed epic.
