Description

"The Greek Anthology consists of over four thousand brief epigrams written from before the Persian Wars down to the end of the Middle Ages; in other words from the Homeric to the close of the Byzantine age. These poems thus voice the thoughts and sentiments of four distinct and vastly different civilizations; Greece in the golden age of its classicism; Greece in its Alexandrian age; Greece transplanted to Rome, pagan, or Christian; and finally Greece persisting through the dark ages to the dawn of the Renaissance" Nice copy in large type of examples of Greek Lyric poetry.115p. list of sources.Some damage to spine, but contents fine, in original slipcase.
