- "About 60 B.C., the sophist and poet, Meleager of Gadara, undertook to combine the choicest effusions of his predecessors into a single body of fugitive poetry. His selection, compiled from forty-six of his predecessors, and including numerous contributions of his own, was entitled The Garland, and in an introductory poem each poet is compared to some flower, fancifully deemed appropriate to his genius. The arrangement of his collection was alphabetical, according to the initial letter of each epigram." --Sholem Stein
