Problem:The eighth section, subtitled "The Sorceress," focuses on a singing contest, as does the third section. This work, dedicated to Asinius Pollio, inspired two insipid parodies by a certain Numitorius. Characters in it include the dying Damon and an angry Silenus. Some scholars hold that the story of Tityrus in the first section indicates that Octavian restored the estate of the author's father, and the second section provided titles for Gide's Corydon and Marguerite Yourcenar's Alexis. Modeled on the Idylls of Theocritus, FTP name this work by Virgil whose fourth section includes a Messianic prophecy of the birth of a child.
