Theocritus and the Invention of Fiction
Payne, Mark (University of Chicago)
The Idylls of Theocritus are the first literature to invent a fictional world that is an alternative to reality rather than an image of it. Employing ancient and modern conceptions of fictionality, Professor Payne examines the idea in these poems, and why the pastoral genre grows out of them.
