Epigram

The sky will extinguish its stars, and the sun

    will appear shining in the folds of night,

and the sea will be a well of fresh water for men,

    and the dead will come back to the land of the living,

before forgetfulness of those ancient lines

    can steal from us the far-famed name of Homer.

– Philip (mid-1st century AD), translated by Edwin Morgan (1973)
