This 1926 limited edition of “The Greek Idyls” is a true collector’s item, offering a window into the pastoral world of ancient Greek poetry. Theocritus, Bion, and Moschus were masters of the idyllic genre, capturing the beauty and simplicity of rural life through vivid imagery and lyrical verse. M. M. Miller’s translation, published by the renowned Athenian Society, aimed to preserve the essence of these works while making them accessible to English readers. With only 500 copies printed, this signed and numbered volume holds a special place in the history of classical literature appreciation. Beyond its literary significance, the book’s physical condition tells a story of its own – the minor wear and scuffs a testament to its journey through time, cherished by generations of readers and collectors alike.
