Etymology
From Gr. ανθολογία (anthologia) "flower-gathering", from ανθολογÎω (anthologeo) "to gather flowers", from άνθος (anthos) "flower" + λÎγω (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.
