Shouldn't there be a section to describe Anacreon's legacy? A school of poetry was founded on the style of his work during the Middle Ages, and a revival of Anacreontic ideals in the late 18th century led to the rise of Romanticism, I believe. It would be good to mention these things. – The Fiddly Leprechaun · Catch Me! 18:50, 18 November 2009 (UTC) reply

Not sure how to fit this in, but Thomas Jefferson quotes Anacreon in his instructions for how to prepare his grave: ολιγη δε κεισομεσθα κονις οστεων λυθεντων. See: https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/jefferson/207.html or p. 380 of his Public and Private Papers (Library of America). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.18.233 ( talk) 20:08, 19 April 2018 (UTC) reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Anacreon. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added {{ dead link}} tag to http://www.zeno.org/Literatur/M/Anakreon/Gedichte/Die%20Gedichte%20Anakreons/Auf%20seine%20M

Is the translated poem in the article one of those considered genuine, or (as I suspect) a translation form the spurious Anacreontea? If it is indeed the latter, then the section should be moved to the article on the Anacreontea. -- EncycloPetey ( talk) 19:33, 13 February 2017 (UTC) reply

So far as I can tell (without access to my sources at the moment) the translated poem is still considered genuinely by Anacreon; it's PMG 417. Whether Headlam's very Victorian translation is a useful one to include in the article is another question entirely; I am always suspcious of this style of translation, though at least Headlam seems to have stuck reasonably accurately to Anacreon's text.
