description: Subtitled `mobility, gender and patronage', Burton is concerned here with the application of modern issues and questions to an understanding of Theocritus' poems, which she believes give us representations of `the experiences of urban Greeks in a mobile Hellenistic world which highlight issus of gender relations, colonialism, immigration and cultural dislocation'. Each section focuses on a different issue, with consideration of general scholarly opinion and the author's own views.
