This volume in David Campbell's highly praised edition of the Greek lyric poets contains the work of Anacreon, composer of solo song, as well as the Anacreonta (for which Campbell provides a very helpful in-depth introduction). Here, too, are the earliest writers of choral poetry, notably the seventh-century Spartans Alcman and Terpander. Ancient reports about the lives and work of these poets are represented along with all readable fragments.
