    About this ebook

    Revered in the canon of Nine Lyric Poets, Anacreon flourished in the sixth century BC. His widespread popularity over the classical world went on to inspire countless imitators. His writings influenced fifth century Athenian drama, while tragedy adopted his metres and comic playwrights, including Aristophanes, made allusions to his verses. He was also admired by the Latin poets Ovid, Propertius and Horace, who frequently alludes to his work. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This eBook presents Anacreon’s fragments, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
