Dear Hans,
Pleased to hear there is still a place where the Eclogues are studied in
seconday school. I try to reread them every year, the closing lines of of
the first are amomg my essential passages of poetry.
I have found whenever I work with the commentaries that there is often a
basic floor of agreement on such readings, even though Servius sems to me to
discourage the wilder shores of allegory.
Best wishes,
Helen COB
