Moschus

Moschus, Greek bucolic poet, usually designated of Syracuse in Sicily; he flourished circa 150 B.C., and wrote in a style of almost painfully finished elegance an epitaph on Bion, a couple of short epics, and minor poems. His works are generally printed along with those of Theocritus and Bion; and there is a fine prose translation of the three, with an introduction, by Andrew Lang (1889).
