Meaning:
An anthology is a collection or compilation of selected literary works, such as poems, plays, short stories, or essays, usually by different authors and organized by a common theme or subject.
Origin:
The term "anthology" was first used by the Greek poet Meleager of Gadara around the 1st century BCE. Meleager compiled a collection of epigrams, short satirical poems, from various poets and organized them by subject. He called his collection "Stephanus" ("The Crown") and referred to it as an "anthología" because it was a gathering of "flowers," or beautiful and memorable verses.
Over time, the term "anthology" came to be applied to any collection of literary works, even those that did not consist primarily of epigrams. Anthologies have been published since ancient times and continue to be popular today as a way to showcase the best works of a particular genre, author, or historical period.
