Saying "ancient lyrics", we mean the lyrics of two, but only different, but also very different peoples - the Greeks and the Romans. Roman poetry is directly dependent on Greek, but this is not a continuation or a copy: Roman poetry has many of its own national features. The unification of Greek and Roman lyrics into a single concept of 'ancient' lyrics is justified by the common culture of the pagan slave-owning society, which laid the foundations of the culture of the Mediterranean, that is, to a large extent, the new Europe. The book includes works by Sappho, Anacreon, Horace, Catullus and many other Greek and Roman poets.
