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. 606 $aElegiac poetry, Greek$vTranslations into English 606 $aElegiac poetry, Greek 606 $aElegiac poetry, Greek$3(OCoLC)907819$2fast 607 $aGreece$vPoetry 607 $aGreece$2fast 615 0$aElegiac poetry, Greek 615 0$aElegiac poetry, Greek. 615 7$aElegiac poetry, Greek 676 $a881/.0108 702 $aGerber$b Douglas E. 801 0$bMaCbHUP 801 2$bTLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996214857603316 996 $aGreek elegiac poetry$9238764 997 $aUNISA
