The Georgics (Latin: Georgica) is a poem in four books, likely published in 29 BC. It is the second major work by the Latin poet Publius Vergilius Maro (Virgil), following his Eclogues and preceding the Aeneid. It is a poem that draws on many prior sources and influenced many later authors from antiquity to the present. As the name suggests (from the Greek word γεωργικά, geōrgika, i.e. "agricultural (things)") the subject of the poem is agriculture; but far from being an example of peaceful rural poetry, it is a work characterized by tensions in both theme and purpose. - more on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgics
