This fascinating collection of love epigrams is taken from the Greek Anthology or book V. of the Palatine Anthology. It has been edited and partly rendered into English verse and was considered the best account in English of the Anthology. Originally published in 1897, this book is a delight for those with a passion for Greek literature and history. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original artwork and text.
