Corydon (Greek Κορύδων Korúdōn, probably related to κόρυδος kórudos "lark") is a stock name for a shepherd in ancient Greek pastoral poems and fables, such as the one in Idyll 4 of the Syracusan poet Theocritus (c. 300 – c. 250 BC). The name was used by the Latin poets Siculus and, more significantly, Virgil. In the second of Virgil's Eclogues, it is used for a shepherd whose love for the boy Alexis is described therein. Virgil's Corydon gives his name to the modern book Corydon. Corydon and Thyrsis appear in Henry Needler's poem, "A Pastoral", first published in 1724.

  • Corydon (Greek Κορύδων Korúdōn, probably related to κόρυδος kórudos "lark") is a stock name for a shepherd in ancient Greek pastoral poems and fables, such as the one in Idyll 4 of the Syracusan poet Theocritus (c. 300 – c. 250 BC). The name was used by the Latin poets Siculus and, more significantly, Virgil. In the second of Virgil's Eclogues, it is used for a shepherd whose love for the boy Alexis is described therein. Virgil's Corydon gives his name to the modern book Corydon. Corydon is the name of a character that features heavily in the Eclogues of Calpurnius Siculus. Some scholars believe that Calpurnius represents himself, or at least his "poetic voice" through Corydon, Corydon is mentioned in Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queen as a shepherd in Book VI, Canto X. In this section he is portrayed as a coward who fails to come to the aid of Pastorell when she is being pursued by a tiger. The name appears in poem number 17 ("My flocks feed not, my ewes breed not") of The Passionate Pilgrim, an anthology of poetry first published in 1599 and attributed on the title page of the collection to Shakespeare. This poem appeared the following year in another collection, England's Helicon, where it was attributed to "Ignoto" (Latin for "Unknown"). Circumstantial evidence points to a possible authorship by Richard Barnfield, whose first published work, The Affectionate Shepherd, though dealing with the unrequited love of Daphnis for Ganymede, was in fact, as Barnfield stated later, an expansion of Virgil's second Eclogue which dealt with the love of Corydon for Alexis. Corydon and Thyrsis appear in Henry Needler's poem, "A Pastoral", first published in 1724. The name is again used for a shepherd boy in an English children's trilogy (Corydon and the Island of Monsters, Corydon and the Fall of Atlantis and Corydon and the Siege of Troy) by Tobias Druitt. [1] Corydon is the name of a shepherd in a Christian hymn entitled Pastoral Elegy. The town of Corydon, Indiana is named after the shepherd of that hymn. Corydon and Thyrsis are a pair of shepherds in Edna St. Vincent Millay's 1920 play, "Aria da Capo". [2] Corydon is the name of a 1924 Dialogue by André Gide, in which the discussion of the naturalness and morality of homosexuality and pederasty are linked to the character Corydon, inspired by Virgil.

  • Corydon (du grec κόρυδος, korudos, « alouette ») est le nom d'un berger musicien de la Grèce antique présent dans des poèmes pastoraux et des fables. Le nom apparaît pour la première fois dans l'Idylle IV de Théocrite ; le personnage, qui habite près de Crotone, en Italie du Sud, est décrit comme plus rustique, moins délicat et moins philosophe que la majorité des bergers de Théocrite, placés en Sicile. Cette caractérisation se retrouve dans l'Idylle V, où le nom de Corydon est associé à l'adjectif « sauvage ». Le nom a également été utilisé par le poète latin Calpurnius Siculus, et surtout par Virgile. Dans la seconde Bucolique, Corydon est le berger amoureux d'Alexis, jeune esclave du riche Iollas. Pourtant, l'héritage de Théocrite est moins évident qu'il y paraît : la Deuxième Bucolique est imitée de l'Idylle XI de Théocrite, qui donne la parole au cyclope Polyphème. Quant à l'Idylle IV, elle est reprise dans la Troisième Bucolique. C'est ainsi que Virgile brouille les pistes et, tout en témoignant de sa dette à l'égard de son prédécesseur grec, marque son originalité. Le Corydon de Virgile a donné son nom au Corydon moderne d'André Gide. L'auteur oublie le caractère original rustique présent chez Théocrite, et retient deux choses de Virgile : le thème de l'homosexualité (de la Deuxième Bucolique) et la forme dialoguée propre à la majorité des Bucoliques. Corydon est mentionné dans The Faerie Queene de Edmund Spenser comme un berger dans le chant X du livre VI. Dans cette section, il est dépeint comme un lâche qui ne parvient pas à venir en aide à Pastorell quand elle est poursuivie par un tigre. Le nom est également utilisé pour un jeune berger dans la trilogie pour enfants anglaise (Corydon et l'île des monstres, Corydon et la chute de l'Atlantide et de Corydon et le siège de Troie) de (en). Corydon est aussi le nom d'un berger dans un hymne chrétien intitulé Pastoral Elegy. La ville de Corydon, Indiana, est nommée d'après le pasteur de cet hymne. (fr)
  • Coridone è un nome maschile usato dai poeti bucolici per figure di pastori, derivante forse dal greco κόρυδος (korydos), uccello dalla voce particolarmente dolce (l'allodola).

A Coridone non resta che piangere e inveire per l'atteggiamento del giovinetto. Una ripresa in epoca moderna si deve allo scrittore francese André Gide, che dette il titolo ad una sua opera, il Corydon appunto, saggio scritto sotto forma di dialogo socratico in difesa dell'omosessualità.
