Where it comes from
From Middle English eclog, from Latin ecloga, from Ancient Greek ἐκλογή (eklogḗ, “selection”).
noun eclogues · eclog · eglog
- A pastoral poem, often in the form of a shepherd's monologue or a dialogue between shepherds. The voice of congratulation and flattery was not, however, silent; and we may still peruse, with pleasure and contempt, an eclogue, which was composed on the accession of the emperor Carus. Two shepherds, avoiding the noontide heat, retire into the cave of Faunus.
