| Description: |
Constantine has collected 3,000 years of the greatest Greek poetry, all exquisitely translated and assembled in a handsome volume that is sure to be a modern classic. |
| Synopsis: |
This landmark volume captures three millennia of Greek poetry more than 1,000 poems and 200 poets. From the epics of Homeric Greece to the historical and erotic ironies of Cavafy, from the romances, hymns, and bawdy rhymes of Byzantium to the innovative voices of a resurgent twentieth century, this anthology brings together the diverse strands of the Greek poetic tradition. The favorites are all here raging Achilles, restless Odysseus, strong-hearted Penelope but The Greek Poets also presents neglected eras, from the rise of Constantinople to the end of the Ottoman occupation. In offering canonical poets such as Sappho and Pindar, and the modern Nobel laureates Seferis and Elytis, the renowned editors have given us a volume that is "essential for all international literary collections" (Booklist)." |
