Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show that onomastic evidence as the chief tool of prosopography in ancient history can be extended to poetry to reveal various aspects of life, literature and history . Theocritus' poems are full of characters whose multifarious personalities the poet alludes to chiefly through diction.
