Anacreontea is the title given to a collection of some sixty Greek poems on the topics of wine, beauty, erotic love, and the worship of Dionysus. The poems themselves appear to have been composed over a long period of time, dating to between the 1st century BC and the 6th century AD, and is attributed pseudepigraphically to Anacreon.
