# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Anacreon lived and wrote in the Ionic dialect around the late sixth and early fifth centuries BC, composing verses meant to be sung to the lyre. He built his reputation on drinking songs and erotic poems, leaning into themes most poets treated as side material: love, infatuation, disappointment, the texture of parties and festivals, the small truths of everyday people. The work was intimate, universal, and apparently irresistible. Later Greeks placed him among the Nine Lyric Poets, a canonical list that froze his name in the tradition. His subject was pleasure and its complications, and he never looked away.
