Georgics itu apa sih?

Georgics (;  ) adalah sebuah puisi karya penyair Latin Virgil, yang tampaknya terbit pada 29 SM. Sesuai dengan namanya (dari kata Yunani , geōrgika, artinya "(hal-hal) pertanian") subyek puisi tersebut adalah pertanian; namun karena jauh dari contoh puisi pedesaan damai, karya tersebut dikarakterisasikan oleh ketegangan dalam tema dan keperluan.
