Anacreon was a 6th century Greek poet with a sybaritic, Epicurean philosophy. In other words, he was up for a good time. The odes that bear his name are written in seven-syllable trochaic tetrameter but, more importantly, they are about pleasure, wine, erotic love and the fleeting nature of existence.
