Sažetak
Three Virgil's works were paradigm for three styles. His selected poems were long lasting inspiration for poets and authors of the bucolic poetry in European literature. The world of shepherds and ideal countryside Latin poets always adapted to a certain historic moment or event. Thanks to its long lasting presence in European literature, bucolic genre is well described in some normative manuals of poetics (Scaliger, Sarbiewski, Pontanus). Eclogues were always written in hexameters in the form of conversation among two or more shepherds who bore Virgil’s shepherds names (Tytirus, Meliboeus, Corydon etc.). The world of Latin poets itself can be hardly recognized as real. Only explanation on title pages or poets’ footnotes legitimate it as historic and real and show author’s intention to transform real event or occasion to an imaginary poetical world. Occasional poetry in northern Croatia was written during the whole 19th century even when Latin lost its predominance in public life. From numerous occasional poems we sort out texts that were classified as eclogues. Analysing them, we intend to point out expressions and whole hexameters that were taken over from ancient texts and authors. Latin poets referred not only to Virgil but other Latin poets as well (e. g. Horace, Ovid). The influence of ancient poets is visible in their phraseology and expression. When writing their hexameters poets sometimes were crossing over strict borders between literary genres, as will be shown in further analysis. Choosing Bucolics as a genre model poets chose low style describing according to the middle-aged scale of literary styles. However their choice did not exclude other literary genres. They also took over some characteristics and actions from the high style writing (epic e. g.). Describing the figure of the mythical shepherd Daphnis authors joined together the world of the pagan antiquity on one side and the Christian world on the other side. Shepherd Daphnis appears in many texts (Virgil, Ovid, Propertius). Besides, shepherd who takes care of his flock is well known allegory from the books of Bible. Dedicatees of eclogues are mostly bishops. Mythical shepherd Daphnis who takes care of his flock is allegory for bishop who is to be inaugurated and will take care of people. Bishops were dedicatees of many occasional poems in the 19th century so our analysis would include not only eclogues but other occasional poems dedicated to bishops as well.
