Allegories of Farming from Greece and Rome: Philosophical Satire in Xenophon, Varro, and Virgil
Kronenberg, Leah (Rutgers University, New Jersey)
This book shows that Xenophon's Oeconomicus, Varro's De Re Rustica and Virgil's Georgics are not simply works on farming but in fact belong to a tradition of philosophical satire which uses allegory and irony to question the meaning of morality and the right way to live.
