This review is from: Greek Bucolic Poets: Theocritus. Bion. Moschus (Loeb Classical Library No. 28) (Hardcover)
This represents the classic Loeb style. Those like me whose Doric is quite rusty will have to struggle from time to time, but the challenges of Doric cannot compete with those of the English translation, a tour de force in northern (Scots) dialect. This proper Loeb makes one consult the Greek dictionary, etc.
Edmunds was a good text critic and produced a valuable edition. On such matters as human sexuality the introductions and renditions are hopelessly Victorian. One is not reading extravagant descriptions of friendship, but of love between men. |
