Death & Dying
Epigram 13: When you, my friend, to Cyzicus repair
Translated by H. W. Tytler (1793; Bohn 1856) · From Works of Callimachus (Tytler, 1793)
Death & Dying
When you, my friend, to Cyzicus repair,
Good Hippacus and Didyme the fair
Are found with ease, amid th’ extended town,
Since both descend from sires of great renown:
Then sadly tell their son’s untimely doom,
For youthful Critias lies beneath this tomb.
