Reviews
Davenport has made us again discover that the Greeks, who gave us most of our culture, are our most lively, poignant, humorous, and profound writers whom we should read today as contemporaries....His exciting original versions are appropriately an immediate modern classic., Davenports' Pleiad of Greeks-four poets, two philosophers, and a less familiar composer of rakish mimes-provides a vivid insight into the heart and mind of a Greece still rising, in the brilliant of these poets, to its Periclean apogee., Davenports' Pleiad of Greeks--four poets, two philosophers, and a less familiar composer of rakish mimes--provides a vivid insight into the heart and mind of a Greece still rising, in the brilliant of these poets, to its Periclean apogee., If you don't read Greek, read Davenport; if you do, read Davenport and learn to read Greek better.

Synopsis
"Overall, this volume will afford great pleasure to scholars, teachers, and also those who simply love to watch delightful souls disport themselves in language."--Anne Carson, Here is a colorful variety pf works by seven Greek poets and philosophers who lived from the eighth to the third centuries BC. Salvaged from shattered pottery vases and tattered scrolls of papyrus, everything decipherable from the remains of these ancient authors is assembled here. From early to later, the collection contains: Archilochos; Sappho; Alkman; Anakreon; the philosophers Herakleitos and Diogenes; and Herondas. This composite of fragments translated by Guy Davenport is the most complete collection of its kind ever to appear in one volume.
