And indeed, the reader finds here the plenty of the gods in poems of freshness, vigor, excitement, strength, and tenderness. Arranged into four periodsClassical, Hellenic, Roman, and Early ByzantineGreek Lyric Poetry features works by such ancient masters as Xenophanes, Callimachus, Plato, Sappho, and Simonides. These translations are addressed to the general reader as well to poets and lovers of poetry who may be curious about the marvelous slips and reconfigurations that occur when a poet in the present communes with poets in the past.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 147mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 355gContributor: Sherod Santos (Edited by)Author: Sherod SantosGenre: Poetry & DramaType: By PeriodRelease Year: 2005 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
