The Ancient Greek Poetry Collection is a comprehensive compilation of Greek lyric poetry, containing all that remains of Greek lyric poetry from Eumelus to Timotheus. This includes small anonymous works from the seventh to fifth centuries BC and a multitude of short poetic songs, such as Alcaeus’ War-Songs, Simonides’ songs for Olympic athletes, Sophocles’ Paens, and works by Aristotle and Euripides. Greek Lyric poetry is often lost in the shadows of the more popular epic and dramatic Greek poetry; this collection highlights the prominent authors without excluding the less-known works that were crucial in the formation of the genre.

These two collections come together to create The Harvard Classics and Fiction Collection (71 vols.). Among...
