The Greek AnthologyÂ is a marvellous salvage from the vast shipwreck of the Ancient World, a colossal continuity and variety from pre-classical times through Roman into Byzantine.Â ForÂ A Bird Called ElaeusÂ Â– his small anthology of the vast original Â– David Constantine has gone particularly not just to the renowned love poems but also to poems that treat manÂ’s dealings with the earth, his work and trades there, the creatures other than himself who inhabit it and the divinities whose care it is. Through his translations, Constantine brings already urgent poems closer to home and our drift towards the Sixth Extinction. For the Ancient World was not populated by humans harmless to Mother Earth, not at all: often they, like us, did the worst their means enabled them to do. Still there were laws.Â These things you must not do. Doing them nevertheless was understood as transgression of laws beyond the human laws. You offended Demeter at your peril. Understand that how we like, itÂ’s the same now. And the peril is infinitely greater, threatens to be final, consuming the innocent with the guilty.
