Its subject matter consists of almost any topic, excluding only the scurrilous and obscene. In this completely new Loeb Classical Library edition, Douglas Gerber provides a faithful translation of the fragments and significant testimonia that have come down to us, with full explanatory notes. Most substantial in this volume is the collection of elegiac verses to which Theognis' name is attached. Drinking and merry-making are frequent themes in these poems; there are also more reflective and philosophic pieces and love poems. Together they offer an interesting picture of an aristocratic man's views about life, friendship, fate, and daily concerns. Also notable in this volume is the martial verse of the Spartan Tyrtaeus and the poetry of Solon, Athens' famous lawmaker.Elegiac poetry, GreekTranslations into EnglishElegiac poetry, GreekElegiac poetry, Greek(OCoLC)907819fastGreecePoetryGreecefastElegiac poetry, GreekElegiac poetry, Greek.Elegiac poetry, Greek881/.0108Gerber Douglas E.MaCbHUPTLCBOOK996214857603316Greek elegiac poetry238764UNISA
