Anacreon in English: Attempted in the Metres of the Original (1869)

""Anacreon in English: Attempted in the Metres of the Original"" is a book written by Thomas James Arnold and published in 1869. The book is a translation of the works of the ancient Greek poet Anacreon, who was known for his poems about love, wine, and revelry. Arnold attempts to recreate the original meters of Anacreon's poetry in English, capturing the rhythm and flow of the original Greek. The book includes a preface and notes on the translation process, as well as a selection of Anacreon's most famous poems. It is a valuable resource for scholars of ancient Greek poetry and those interested in the history of translation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
