%X Tityrus and Galatea are found together only in Virgil, Eclogue 1. The article argues that they form a ¡®significant¡¯ pair of pastoral names, suggesting ¡®cheese¡¯ and ¡®milk¡¯. It provides evidence from Theocritus, where ¡®milky¡¯ Galatea is inserted in the semantic field of ¡®milk and cheese¡¯;  Lucian, where Galatea forms a pair with the proper name Tyro; and  the Alexander Romance, where Satyros is etymologized from ¡®tyros¡¯ (¡®cheese¡¯), in light of the fact that Virgil¡¯s ¡®Tityrus¡¯ indicates a species of satyr. The article treats also proper name versions of ¡®milk and cheese¡¯ in the Aeneid. It is concluded with a discussion of the name ¡®Tityros¡¯ found in Nikos Kazantzakis¡¯ autobiography entitled Report to Greco and in his novel Kapet¨¢nMich¨¢lis (Freedomor Death).
