Presents (in Greek) the epigrammatic poems of Asclepiades (focusing on personal feeling) and Leonidas (dwelling on the suffering of the poor and the destitute). The poems and commentary are presented with the idea that the detailed exploration of specific authors' corpuses will enrich the education of the typical classics student. Fluency in ancient Greek is assumed throughout the text. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
