Greek poetry invented ephemerality as a mark of the human condition and introduced materials for confronting it. This book examines ancient Greek poetry, including Homer, Archilochus, Sappho, Simonides, Aeschylus, Pindar and Timotheus, to show how this poetry offered the embodiment of its rhythms as an answer to change and loss.
