Translation: Of
Chios. Rhetor. Pupil of
Metrodorus,[1] of the school of
Isocrates.[2] He wrote
Chreiai.[3] He was a political opponent of the historian
Theopompus.[4] His
history of Libya is extant, and remarkable
letters. There is also another
Theocritus,[5] the son of
Praxagoras and Philinna (though others [say], of Simmichas); of Syracuse (though others [say] that he was from Cos and migrated to Syracuse). This man wrote the so-called
Bucolics in the Doric dialect. Some also attribute to him the following works:
Proetides;
Hopes;
hymns;
funeral songs;
elegies and iambi;
epigrams.
Note that there were three Bucolic poets: this
Theocritus,
Moschus of
Sicily,[6] and
Bion of
Smyrna (from an insignificant place called Phlosse).[7]
