	Anthology - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The term "anthology," literally denoting a garland or collection of flowers, is figuratively applied to any selection of literary beauties, and especially to that great body of fugitive poetry, comprehending about 4500 pieces, by upwards of 300 writers, which is commonly known as the Greek Anthology.
		Such a composition must necessarily be brief, and the restraints attendant upon its publication concurred with the simplicity of Greek taste in prescribing conciseness of expression, pregnancy of meaning, purity of diction and singleness of thought, as the indispensable conditions of excellence in the epigrammatic style.
		Nothing corresponding to the Greek anthology is known to have existed among the Romans, though professional epigrammatists like Martial published their volumes on their own account, and detached sayings were excerpted from authors like Ennius and Publius Syrus, while the Priapeia were probably but one among many collections on special subjects.

		All important deviations from the received text of the Anthology are noted, and referred to their author in each case; but, as this is not a critical edition, the received text, when retained, is as a rule printed without comment where it differs from that of the MSS.
		Greek literature at the later Byzantine Court, like the polity and religion of the Empire, was a matter of rigid formalism; and so an epigram by Cometas Chartularius differs no more in style and spirit from an epigram by Agathias than two mosaics of the same dates.
		Greek art concentrated its efforts on the representation of the human figure, and even there preferred the abstract form and the rigid limitations of sculpture; and the poetry that saw, as it were, through the eyes of art sought above all things simplicity of composition and clearness of outline.

	Greek Anthology
		Greek Anthology (also Anthologia Graeca) is a collection of poems, mostly epigrams, that span the Ancient and Byzantine periods of Greek Literature.
		While papyri containing fragments of collections of poetry have been found in Egypt, the earliest known anthology in Greek was compiled by Meleager of Gadara, under the title Anthologia, or "Garland." It contained poems by the compiler himself and forty-six other poets, including Archilochus, Alcaeus, Anacreon, and Simonides.
		His anthology was the only one known to Western Europe (his autograph copy, dated 1301 survives; the first edition based on his collection was printed in 1494) until 1606 when Claudius Salmasius found in the library at Heidelberg a fuller collection based on Cephalas.

		Cameron's purpose is to follow the development of the anthology of epigrams to its maximum extent in Cephalas, and then its slow epitomization to Planudes, and--despite the title--beyond.
		A.D. Cameron suspects that this nameless anthology was a reworking of the fourth century anthology of Diogenian, in which Palladas was the latest author, composed perhaps in Constantinople ca.
		AP xv and viii and possibly iii are additions to Cephalas, but Cameron argues that i, iii and iv were probably in the manuscript of Cephalas, perhaps separate from the old epigrams, while viii was at least in AP's source; some of ii was known to Cephalas as well.

	The Infinite Moment: Poems From Ancient Greek. - book reviews Literary Review - Find Articles
		Greek lyrical poetry, his subject, had a long and adventurous history of flourishing and developing through a millenium covering its initial archaic era, when it was born in Ionia, then the Classical, the Hellenistic or Alexandrian, the Roman, and finally the Byzantine era.
		Even more adventurous was the survival of what we still have extant since the Renaissance, when it became a precious heritage and a source of inspiration to its numerous admirers who, creatively or otherwise, have paid their due to it.
		What we have of Greek lyricism is contained in the Greek Anthology collected by Constantine Cephalas in the late 9th century A.D. (some 3,700 pieces, mostly epigrams, that run to about 22,000 lines).

		Straton was a Greek-writing poet from the Lydian city of Sardis who probably lived during the time of Adrianus (Hadrian; reign: 117-138 CE), the Roman emperor known for his love of Greek culture and his love for the young man Antinoos.
		This version of the anthology was finally published from 1794 to 1814 as Anthologia Graeca, with an appendix of poems included in the Planudean anthology but not found in the Palatine manuscript.
		(See Cameron for information on the Greek Anthology; pages 65-69 for Straton.) Because of subject matter - "the least alluring", "of all least pleasing to modern taste" (Lawton: 73, 52) - Straton's work was generally left untranslated, or translated only into Latin, or translated only in very private editions, until the mid-20th century.

	Alciato and Greek Anthology
		The Greek Anthology is a series of cycles of Greek lyric and epigrammatic poems by scores of writers both ancient and medieval Christian, assembled in a series of collections from antiquity onwards.
		Like most scholars interested in Greek literature, Alciato was fascinated by the Planudean Greek Anthology and in the early 1520's he began to work on the poems.
		The kind of poetry found in the Anthology -- often a poetry of riddling ambiguity and moral instruction -- was to lay the basis for Alciato's emblems.

		The Iliad (ca 800-750 B.C.E.) was the undisputed masterpiece of Greek epic poetry and a kind of bible for the Greek world as a repository of myths, history, and exemplary tales of military valor.
