Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Epigrams From the Greek Anthology: Edited, With a Revised Text, Introduction, Translation and Notes The purpose of this book is to present a complete collection, subject to certain definitions and exceptions which will be mentioned later, of all the best extant Greek Epigrams. Although many epigrams not given here have in different ways a special interest of their own, none, it is hoped, have been excluded which are of the first excellence in any style. But, while it would be easy to agree on three - fourths of the matter to be included in such a scope, perhaps hardly any two persons would be in exact accordance with regard to the rest with many pieces which lie on the border line of excellence, the decision must be made on a balance of very slight considerations, and becomes in the end one rather of personal taste than of any fixed principle.
