But after its first two lines were found on the Hermes of Hagia Trias by Milchlöfer and published by Wilhelm (Oesterreich. Jahreshejte 2, 1899, pp. 228 f.), they became generally and rightly attributed to the latter.

Madame Karouzou very convincingly identifies the figure of a comastes on an amphora of the Louvre (Vases ant. du Louvre; 3^e série, G. 220, pl. 130, p. 206) with Anacreon. This should date 490–480 B.C.

^{page 33 note 3} We must bear in mind that these vasepaintings of Anacreon are only an indication, but by no means a sure proof, for ‘poets’ are exceptions even in this, as Sappho represented on 5th century vases shows. Cf. Schefold, , op. cit., pp. 55 and 57.Google Scholar

^{page 33 note 7} “ can also be instead of , so it may possibly mean the ‘descendants”. It is not the epigraphical data which speak against Anacreon's authorship, as Kirchoff (C.I.G. i. 381), Kaibel (Epig. Gr. 758) Roberts-Gardner (Introduction to Greek Epigraphy, p. 439), and others thought, for the shapes of the letters, and in particular of the letter A (cf. C.I.G. i. 834 or Roberts-Gardner, op. cit.) are exactly the same as those on the altar of Pisistratus the Younger (Kirchner, Imagines Inscr. Atticarum (Berlin, 1935, v) which is dated 512 B.C. (cf. Welter, , Arch. Anzeig. liv (1934), p. 23Google Scholar) or 497 B.C. (cf. Meritt, , Hesperia, viii (1939), p. 64Google Scholar), and which falls well within the lifetime of Anacreon. The mixing of letters of the old Attic alphabet with those of the Ionian is probably due to Ionian craftsmen working in Attica at that time (cf. Kunze-Schleif, , Jahrb. d. deutsch. Arch, liii (1939), p. 129Google Scholar, or Welter, op. cit.). On these same epigraphical data Friedländer-Hoffleit, Epigrammata, No. 107 mainly exclude Anacreon's authorship.
