Possible definitions for theocrats
theocracy
Government by those regarded as divinely guided. The government's leaders may be clergy, or the state's legal system may be based on religious law. Theocratic rule was a constant of early civilizations. The Enlightenment marked the end of theocracy in most Western countries. Present-day examples include Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, and the Vatican. See also church and state, divine kingship.
Theocritus
Greek poet. Little is known of his life. His surviving poems consist of bucolics and mimes, set in the country, and epics, lyrics, and epigrams, set in towns. The bucolics, his most characteristic and influential works, introduced the pastoral convention into poetry and were the sources of Virgil's Eclogues and much Renaissance poetry and drama. Theocritus' best-known idylls include Thyrsis, a lament for Daphnis, the shepherd poet of mythology, and Thalysia ("Harvest Festival"), which presents the poet's friends and rivals in the guise of rustics.
