Georgicon

Virgil, 71 BCE-20 BCE

Sobre este livro

"Georgicon" by Virgil is a poem likely published in 29 BCE. This work presents agriculture not as peaceful pastoral verse but as humanity's struggle against a hostile natural world. Divided into four books, it covers crop cultivation, viticulture, animal husbandry, and beekeeping. Through technical instruction and mythological tales—including the stories of Aristaeus and Orpheus—Virgil explores tensions between human labor and nature's power, golden ages and present realities, rural virtue and urban corruption, weaving didactic purpose with epic drama.
