Recorded in October 2021. The text is the Greek Anthology, 7.669. The translation is by Lilla Cabot Perry, in "From the Garden of Hellas, translations into verse from the Greek anthology," 1891.

This poem is probably Hellenistic; however, it and the other "Star" poems are justly regarded as among the best in the Greek Anthology, and deserve their attachment to a first-rate name. Their attribution to Plato also reflects the tradition that he was first a poet, before he turned to philosophy.

“Plato son of Aristo was at first extremely addicted to poetry... but before the Bacchanalian feast, he heard Socrates discourse; and was so much taken with that Siren, that he thenceforward wholly gave it off, and addicted himself to philosophy.” – Aelian, “Varia Historia,” Book 2, Chapter 30.
