Description
This anthology brings together a selection of Greek lyric poetry in elegant new translations. Andrew Miller's introduction provides historical context and explains the different metrical forms represented, while headnotes offer insight into the poets whose works are included.
Miller's goal is to provide students without a background in Greek with a sense of how the ancient Greeks thought about the world. The result is a collection that is both faithful to its sources and accessible to readers unfamiliar with the language.
The book includes a glossary of names and a select bibliography, making it a useful resource for anyone interested in classical literature.
