Abstract
This article argues that the allusions to Hesiod in Theocritus’ Idyll 10 do not necessarily make the poem a non-bucolic text. The presence of Hesiod is visible not only in Milon’s speech and song, but also in Bucaeus’, and gives us various clues as to how Theocritus perceived Hesiod. Theocritus’ Hesiod, in Id. 10 and elsewhere in the Idylls, is not merely a vehicle of serious “didactic poetry”. Milon’s merciless attitude, obsession with work and food, and utilitarian view of poetry cannot simply be called “Hesiodic”; they rather represent the impact of Lityerses (another legendary singer) upon Milon. Theocritus’ Hesiod is also an artist who sings of beauty and pleasure, both in nature and in poetry itself. Theocritus’ reception of Hesiod is of capital importance for the genesis of bucolic poetry.
