A “New” group named for this place that expelled the satirical poet Bocage (“boo-KAHJ”) was one of many literary clubs that sought to uproot Gongorism in Portugal. Byron borrowed a line modifying this place with the Latin adjective “ambo” to describe like-minded friends. This place names a neoclassical “Academy” in Rome that included Pietro Metastasio. The Neapolitan poet Sincero falls into gloom upon realizing that he dreamed up this place in a romance by Jacopo Sannazaro. This prototypical locus amoenus (“uh-MEE-nuss”) is where the elegiac poet Cornelius Gallus dies after saying the lines, “Love conquers all; let us too yield to Love” in the tenth and final of a set of Latin poems. Duke Basilius rules this realm in a romance edited by the poet’s sister, Countess of Pembroke. For 10 points, Virgil’s Eclogues (“ECK-logs”) depict the many shepherds of what Grecian pastoral realm? ■END■
