The work of Bion of Smyrna, the late Hellenistic writer of bucolic poetry, survives in seventeen fragments and the longer Epitaph on Adonis. J. D. Reed presents a Greek text of the poems together with a facing translation. This is a comprehensive treatment of Bion, his poetry and his place in the literary tradition.
