Greek Lyric II: Anacreon, Anacreontea, Choral Lyric from Olympis to Alcman (Loeb Classical Library No. 143) (Volume II),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Precious snippets of ancient song.The five volumes in the Loeb Classical Library edition of Greek Lyric contain the surviving fragments of solo and choral song. This poetry was not preserved in medieval manuscripts, and few complete poems remain. Later writers quoted from the poets, but only so much as suited their needs; these quotations are supplemented by papyrus texts found in Egypt, most of them badly damaged. The high quality of what remains makes us realize the enormity of our loss.Volume I presents Sappho and Alcaeus. Volume II contains the work of Anacreon, composer of solo song; the Anacreontea; and the earliest writers of choral poetry, notably the seventhcentury Spartans Alcman and Terpander. Stesichorus, Ibycus, Simonides, and other sixthcentury poets are in Volume III. Bacchylides and other fifthcentury poets are in Volume IV along with Corinna (although some argue that she belongs to the third century). Volume V contains the new school of poets active from the midfifth to the midfourth century and also collects folk songs, drinking songs, hymns, and other anonymous pieces.
