	Anacreon
		Anacreon was born in the city of Teos in what is now western Turkey, and fled his hometown in his late twenties when it fell to the Persians.
		Anacreon used a metrical style which was employed and imitated by poets for centuries after his passing, and the term "Anacreontic" was coined to describe poems written in this style, although it was not the only one Anacreon used and he probably did not invent it.
		Anacreon was so admired that the Athenians erected a statue of him at the Acropolis, and his works so numerous that five complete volumes were collected and kept in the Library at Alexandria.

		Comment by: Pedantic Grecian at March 15, 2005 06:39 PM Upon rereading the whole post, I now realize that I should be picking my nits with the author of the song lyrics, and not with Julian.
		The original 1800s song has the title of "To Anacreon in Heaven." Julian was just quoting the song title.

		Tomlinson’s lyrics tell of Anacreon (see illustration), a Greek poet who was born about 572 B.C. Anacreon wrote extensively about women and wine, and that was his main attraction to the London gentlemen.
		Sometimes the intended melody was listed as To Anacreon in Heaven, but not always—since the distinctive structure of the poetry made the intended melody obvious.
		In fact, he chose the same melody for another song that he wrote in 1805, beginning “When the warrior returns..” This too was a patriotic effusion, one that praised Stephen Decatur and the other heroes of the Tripolitan Wars.
