Overview
Amaranth and Asphodel: Songs from the Greek Anthology (1881) is a book by Alfred J. Butler that contains a collection of ancient Greek poems and songs. The Greek Anthology is a compilation of poems from various Greek poets, including Sappho and Anacreon. Butler's book features translations of these poems into English, providing readers with a glimpse into the poetic and literary traditions of ancient Greece. The title of the book comes from two of the most commonly used flowers in Greek mythology: the amaranth, which represents immortality, and the asphodel, which is associated with the afterlife. Together, these flowers symbolize the themes of life and death that are explored in many of the poems in the anthology. Overall, Amaranth and Asphodel is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Greek literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
