Death & Dying
Book VII, 490
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
Death & Dying
I bewail virgin Antibia, eager to wed whom came many suitors to her father’s house, led by the report of her beauty and discretion; but destroying Fate in the case of all, sent their hopes rolling far away.
