Interesting but I have problems with the Othering involved in the
"dynamic equivalent" employed here. Unless we are to read the process
as ironic, in which case the point is made about artifice and construct -
and fair enough - but without a "sympathy" that Theocritus for all his
manipulation certainly had. And if there is "sympathy", where exactly
is it coming from?
