Preface
Anacreon is one of the lyric poets people like most; that in itself would seem to
justify a detailed commentary. He is commonly reduced, though, not just to the
familiar stereotype, but to a small number of well-known quotation fragments.
However, there has been considerable gain from papyri, not hitherto fully
exploited; research on Greek lyric poetry has been advancing; the immense
impact of Anacreon has recently been explored and needs further exploration,
especially for Latin poetry. The time seems ripe for a full-scale modern com-
mentary in English.
I first became more closely interested in Anacreon in 2004, when R. Daniel
and M. Gronewald observed, in their
editio princeps
of the Cologne Sappho,
how the new poem probably influenced Anacreon. The sort of commentary
I was starting to envisage did not seem to be made superfluous by the Modern
Greek commentary of A. Rozokoki (2006); that is not at all to deny its merits,
especially on textual matters in the quoted fragments. My work on the com-
mentary started seriously in 2008. Two editions with commentary have since
appeared: G. M. Leo’s selection of Anacreon’s erotic fragments in 2015 and
A.  Porro’s edition of ancient papyrus commentaries on Anacreon in 2016.
I have profited greatly from these contributions and am very grateful that both
scholars allowed me to see their work before publication.
The standard editions are D. L. Page’s for Anacreon’s lyric in
Poetae Melici
Graeci
and
Supplementum Lyricis Graecis
and M. L. West’s for his elegiacs in
Iambi et Elegi Graeci;
I have adopted their numeration. The texts of papyrus
discoveries not yet included in those editions are presented at the beginning of
my own (pp. 105–64).
It is a pleasure to thank all the institutions and people who gave me support
in this project.
My own university and the
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft
granted me
several periods of research leave in which I could push ahead with the com-
mentary. I was lucky enough to do this in the inspiring ambience of the Oxford
Classics Faculty, thanks to a Keeley Visiting Fellowship at Wadham College in
2010/11 and a Visiting Fellowship at All Souls College in 2014. Moreover a
generous grant by the
Fritz Thyssen Stiftung
supported me during my stay at
Wadham and gave further support while I finished the manuscript.
I am also grateful to my colleagues Klaus Alpers, Frank Bernstein, Ewen
Bowie, Timo Christian, Daniela Colomo, Rudolf Führer, Michael Haslam,
Karlheinz Hülser, Richard Hunter, Robert Parker, Filippomaria Pontani,
