Etymology
From Gr. ανθολογία (anthologia) "flower-gathering", from ανθολογέ� (anthologeo) "to gather flowers", from άνθο� (anthos) "flower" + λέγ� (lego) "to gather, to pick up, to collect". Anthologiai were collections of small Greek poems and epigrams, because in Greek culture the flower symbolize the finer sentiments that only poetry can express.
