Greek Anthology Book I Chapter VI Part I

Introduction

Part I | Part II | Part III

NATURE

I
THE GARDEN GOD
AUTHOR UNKNOWN

Call me not him who comes from Libanus, O stranger, who delights in the talk of young men love-making by night; I am small and a rustic, born of a neighbour nymph, and all my business is labour of the garden; whence four garlands at the hands of the four Seasons crown me from the beloved fruitful threshing-floor.
