Poems translated from Greek.
"The translations of ancient Greek poems that are going to be read have been composed largely for my pleasure, in the strictest sense of the word, that is to say without any concern for publication. The same is true of the notices, short or long, which precede them, and which were first of all assembled information or attempted evaluations for me alone. In translating these poems, or fragments of poems, my approach did not differ in any way from that of the painters of the past, drawing after the antique or brushing a sketch after the paintings of masters before them, in order to better penetrate the secrets of their art, or even that of the composer reworking from time to time a passage by Bach or Mozart to enjoy it and be enriched by it...". Marguerite YOURCENAR.
