Moschus (mŏs`kəs), fl. c.150 B.C., Greek bucolic poet of the school of Theocritus. He is called a Syracusan and lived in Alexandria. Among his few extant pieces is an idyl on Europa. Although Lament for Bion, a beautiful dirge has traditionally been ascribed to Moschus, it is probably of later date. How to thank TFD for its existence?

If one likes books of this genre, my recommendation would be to read William Darymple's brilliant From the Holy Mountain (1998) which retraces the travels of the seventh-century monk, John Moschus, through the Christian, largely monastic, world of the Middle East. |
