This volume presents the extant poems and fragments attributed to Anacreon of Teos, the celebrated Greek lyric poet of the 6th century BC. Known for his verses on love, wine, and revelry, Anacreon’s work captures the spirit of his age and continues to enchant readers with its grace and charm.
"The Anacreontea," a collection of poems imitating Anacreon’s style, is also included, offering a glimpse into the enduring influence of his poetry on subsequent generations. This edition provides a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts interested in classical literature and the poetic legacy of ancient Greece.
