Greek lyric

Alcaeus and Sappho (Brygos Painter, Attic red-figure kalathos, c. 470 BC)

Greek lyric is the body of lyric poetry written in dialects of Ancient Greek. It is primarily associated with the early 7th to the early 5th centuries BC, sometimes called the "Lyric Age of Greece",[1] but continued to be written into the Hellenistic and Imperial periods.
