Death & Dying
Epigram XVII (Mair)
Translated by A. W. Mair (1921) · From Epigrams (Loeb, 1921)
Death & Dying
“Timonoé.” Who art thou? By the gods I had not known thee, were not the name of thy father Timotheus on thy tombstone, and Methymna, thy city. Great, methinks, is the sorrow of thy widowed husband Euthymenes!
