Legacy
[edit]Shouldn't there be a section to describe Anacreon's legacy? A school of poetry was founded on the style of his work during the Middle Ages, and a revival of Anacreontic ideals in the late 18th century led to the rise of Romanticism, I believe. It would be good to mention these things. –The Fiddly Leprechaun · Catch Me! 18:50, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Not sure how to fit this in, but Thomas Jefferson quotes Anacreon in his instructions for how to prepare his grave: ολιγη δε κεισομεσθα κονις οστεων λυθεντων. See: https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/jefferson/207.html or p. 380 of his Public and Private Papers (Library of America). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.18.233 (talk) 20:08, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Translated poem
[edit]Is the translated poem in the article one of those considered genuine, or (as I suspect) a translation form the spurious Anacreontea? If it is indeed the latter, then the section should be moved to the article on the Anacreontea. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:33, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- So far as I can tell (without access to my sources at the moment) the translated poem is still considered genuinely by Anacreon; it's PMG 417. Whether Headlam's very Victorian translation is a useful one to include in the article is another question entirely; I am always suspcious of this style of translation, though at least Headlam seems to have stuck reasonably accurately to Anacreon's text.
