Beginning with simple expressions engraved on stone, these poems eventually encompassed nearly every theme we now associate with lyric poetry in English. Many of the finest are on love and would later exert a profound influence on Latin love poets and, through them, on all the poetry of Europe and the West. This volume offers a representative selection of the best Greek epigrams in original verse translation. It showcases the poetry of nine poets (including one woman), with many epigrams from the recently discovered Milan papyrus. Gordon L. Fain provides an accessible general introduction describing the emergence of the epigram in Hellenistic Greece, together with short essays on the life and work of each poet and brief explanatory notes for the poems, making this collection an ideal anthology for a wide audience of readers. 606 $aEpigrams, Greek 606 $aEpigrams, Greek -- Translations into English 606 $aGreek poetry 606 $aGreek poetry -- Translations into English 606 $aGreek poetry, Hellenistic 606 $aLatin poets 606 $aEpigrams, Greek$vTranslations into English 606 $aGreek poetry$vTranslations into English 606 $aGreek & Latin Languages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 615 4$aEpigrams, Greek. 615 4$aEpigrams, Greek -- Translations into English. 615 4$aGreek poetry. 615 4$aGreek poetry -- Translations into English. 615 4$aGreek poetry, Hellenistic. 615 4$aLatin poets. 615 0$aEpigrams, Greek 615 0$aGreek poetry 615 7$aGreek & Latin Languages & Literatures 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 676 $a881/.0108 700 $aFain$b Gordon L., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01164498 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820204703321 996 $aAncient Greek Epigrams$93928352 997 $aUNINA
