    Athenian Epitaphs

    Athenian Epitaphs
    by Michael R. Burch

    These are my modern English translations of ancient Greek epitaphs placed on gravestones and monuments by the ancient Greeks in remembrance of their dead.

    Mariner, do not ask whose tomb this may be,
    but go with good fortune: I wish you a kinder sea.
    —Michael R. Burch, after Plato

    Does my soul abide in heaven, or hell?
    Only the sea gulls
    in their high, lonely circuits may tell.
    —Michael R. Burch, after Glaucus

    Passerby,
    Tell the Spartans we lie
    Lifeless at Thermopylae:
    Dead at their word,
    Obedient to their command.
    Have they heard?
    Do they understand?
    —Michael R. Burch, after Simonides

    Since I'm dead sea-enclosed Cyzicus shrouds my bones.
    Faretheewell, O my adoptive land that suckled and nurtured me;
    Once again I take rest at your breast.
    —Michael R. Burch, after Erycius

    These men earned a crown of imperishable glory,
    nor did the maelstrom of death obscure their story.
    —Michael R. Burch, after Simonides

Cicero mentioned him living in Rome at the time of Crassus and Catullus, and called him a brilliant epigrammatist, albeit one sometimes too fond of kopia. But if so, what imitations! Fortunately, around 67 of Antipater's poems were preserved in the Greek Anthology, according to the Gow-Page edition. But there seems to have been some confusion in the anthology between Antipater of Sidon and Antipater of Thessalonica, so that number involves some guesswork. The preserved poems include a number of tributary epitaphs and praiseful evocations of art and literature. Antipater is most famously associated with the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which he described in a poem written around BC. But before Antipater praised the Seven Wond
