Melea'ger

（*Mele/agros), son of Eucrates, the celebrated writer and collector of epigrams, was a native of Gadara in Palestine, and lived about B. C. 60.

Works

There are 131 of his epigrams in the Greek Anthology, written in a good Greek style, though somewhat affected, and distinguished by sophistic acumen and amatory fancy. (Brunck, Anal. vol. i. pp. 1-38; Jacobs, Anth. Graec. vol. i. pp. 1-40, vol. xiii. pp. 639, 698, 915, 916; Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. iv. pp. 416-420.)

Editions

Besides the various editions of the Greek Anthology, there are separate editions of the epigrams of Meleager, for which see Fabricius.

Further Information

An account of his Στέφανος, or collection of epigrams, is given under PLANUDES.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
