Excerpt from Greek Melic Poets IT is usually the fate of the maker of an anthology to please none of the judicious because each is convinced that his taste is superior to that of the editor. The possibility of escaping this fate on the part of the author of the present volume, which aims at collecting those fragments of the song - writers of Greece that have a distinctly human interest, is all too great: an untoward chance has bequeathed to us such a meagre portion of the wealth of Greek song that the task of selection is comparatively easy. The triumphal odes of Pindar have indeed been handed down fairly complete and are elsewhere accessible. Only in the case of Bacchylides, who has now almost passed from his position as a fragmentary poet, is the material over abundant for the purpose of an anthology. If I have not included all that is best in him, it is because a few of his finer odes are mutilated in parts beyond all hope of certain restoration. Of the rest of the song-poetry of Greece only broken columns and ruined architraves remain to attest the beauty of the un shattered edifice.

The Greek lyric, elegiac, and iambic poets of the two centuries from 650 to 450 BC - Archilochus and Alcman, Sappho and Mimnermus, Anacreon, Simonides, and the rest - produced some of the finest poetry of antiquity: perfect in form, spontaneous in expression, reflecting all the joys and anxieties of their personal lives and of the societies in which they lived. This new poetic translation by a leading expert captures the nuances of meaning and the whole spirit of this poetry as never before. It is not merely a selection but covers all the surviving poems and intelligible fragments, apart from the works of Pindar and Bacchylides, and includes a number of pieces not previously translated. The Introduction gives a brief account of the poets, and explanatory Notes on the texts will be found at the end.
