Poetry itself, through its identification with a singerhero who suffers, dies, and is reborn, participates in the diurnal (and by metonymy the seasonal) alternation of life and death. The pattern is a very old one. It can be traced back to the shepherd-kings and singers of the ancient Near East such as Tammuz, Enkidu, and David and then recurs with a more self-conscious reference to the power of poetry and art, in figures like the dying Daphnis of Theocritus' First Idyll or the dead and resurrected Daphnis of Virgil's Fifth Eclogue.
