Présentation de l'éditeur
Greek or not, and at the same time help to give a truer notion of what Greek poetry was like. The specimens translated range from the 7th century B.C. (its earliest surviving lyric) to its latest utterance in the 6th century A.D., and with only one or two exceptions have been chosen solely for their merit, in some kind, as poetry. For the most part they are nearly in the order of their date; except that the three Latin pieces (pp. 229 239) are placed next to the A lexandrians, because it is to them that they belong in true relationship. Interspersed among these are translations into Greek verse of various forms and dialects. It is enough that there are many people who find pleasure in such things. As connoisseurs, they taste and estimate the Greekness of them, exercising faculties which are partly artistic, partly critical, and enjoying their trained consciousness. And none enjoy such things more keenly than young students, to whom old experience may have something new to show.
