A Life’s Wandering: Anonymous (date undetermined)

By The Greek Anthology

Translation of John William Mackail

KNOW ye the flowery fields of the Cappadocian nation? Thence I was born of good parents: since I left them I have wandered to the sunset and the dawn; my name was Glaphyrus, and like my mind. I lived out my sixtieth year in perfect freedom; I know both the favor of fortune and the bitterness of life.
