Death & Dying
Book VII, 481
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
Death & Dying
The grave-stone heavy with grief says “Death has carried away short-lived little Theodota,” and the little one says again to her father, “Theodotus, cease to grieve; mortals are often unfortunate.”
