Translations from and thoughts about ancient epigram and its reception. I translated 'Martial: Epigrams' (2015) and 'Epigrams from the Greek Anthology' (2020) for the World's Classics, and am the author of 'Greek Epigram in Reception' (2013). I'm @GideonNisbet on Twitter and post more translations there.
