AnakreonAnacreon

A Greek poet from the late sixth century BCE; he was originally from the city of Teos, in Asia Minor, but lived in Athens.

Only fragments of his work remain; for the complete collection of his extant poems I suggest the book “7 Greeks” by Guy Davenport (ISBN 0811212882); this book can be found at your library in section 881 or you can order this book through the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.
