Specifications
The Greek lyric, epithalamic, and iambic poetry from the two centuries between 650 and 450 BC - Archilochus, Alcaeus, Sappho, Mimnermus, Anacreon, Simonides and others - produced some of the finest poems of antiquity, perfect in form, spontaneous in expression, reflecting all the joys and concerns of their personal lives and the societies in which they lived.
This new poetic translation by a leading expert captures the nuances of meaning and the spirit of this poetry like never before. It is not just a selection but covers all surviving poems and comprehensible fragments, aside from the works of Pindar and Bacchylides, and includes several pieces that have not been translated before. The Introduction provides a brief overview of the poets, while explanatory notes on the texts can be found at the end.
