Excerpt from Amaranth and Asphodel: Songs From the Greek Anthology The Anthology, from which the poems in this volume are borrowed, may fairly claim the double interest of possessing at once paramount artistic and antiquarian value.

If the coins are out of reach, some interest may attach even to electrotypes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
