Theocritus
270 BC / Syracuse, Italy
Epitaph of Cleita, Nurse of Medeius
LIKE THIS POEM
The babe Medeius to his Thracian nurse
This stone- inscribed To Cleita- reared in the midhighway.
Her modest virtues oft shall men rehearse;
Who doubts it? Is not 'Cleita's worth' a proverb to this day?
translated by C. S. Calverley
