Etymology

Borrowed from Ancient Greek ????????? (anthología, “flower-gathering”), from ????????? (anthologé?, “I gather flowers”), from ????? (ánthos, “flower”) + ???? (lég?, “I gather, pick up, collect”), coined by Meleager of Gadara circa 60 BCE, originally as ???????? (???????? (stéphanos, “garland”)) to describe a collection of poetry, later retitled anthology – see Greek Anthology. Anthologiai were collections of small Greek poems and epigrams, because in Greek culture the flower symbolized the finer sentiments that only poetry can express.
