A Garden of Greek Verse

by Frances Lincoln

In this anthology of Greek verse, poets from Homer and Sappho to Sophocles and Euripides provide a glimpse of the lost world of Ancient Greece. The original Greek verse is accompanied by the translations of celebrated writers such as Alexander Pope, W.B. Yeats and Oscar Wilde. Evocative frescoes and vase paintings from sites closely linked with Greek myth and history illustrate each page. Brief biographical information about each of the Greek poets, as well as a note on the art, complete the book.

[C. Varn]

Mostly shorter poems and public domain translations with the original text. The highlight is the pairing with art and the high quality printing. The shorter verse is picked to be easy to read and engaging. A nice little book.
