Θᾶσαι τὸν ἀνδριάντα τοῦτον, ὦ ξένε,
σπουδᾷ καὶ λέγ', ἐπὰν ἐς οἶκον ἔνθῃς·
“Ἀνακρέοντος εἰκόν' εἶδον ἐν Τέῳ,
τῶν πρόσθ' εἴ τι περισσὸν ᾠδοποιοῦ.”
προσθεὶς δὲ χὤτι τοῖς νέοισιν ἅδετο,
ἐρεῖς ἀτρεκέως ὅλον τὸν ἄνδρα.
Look well on this statue, foreigner, and say, when you get home, “I saw the image of Anacreon in Teos, he was something of a star among songmen.” But add to this that he loved young men, and you will have accurately described the whole man.
