The Greeks often composed lipogram.

manner Trvphiodorus wrote his "OdyB

nor Beta IN his second; and 80 on with

other.
This "odyssey" was an imitation OF
the lipogrammatic "Iliadr Of Nestor.
There was an ode by Pindar. in which
he had purposclv omitted the letter
Sigma. In fact, this ingenuity was a
literary fashion, encouraged even by
people who ought 10 have been the first
70 oppose such nonsense.
In Latin there is little prose work

Is without A, the second without B, and

The Persians were not free from this
literary folly, but one Of them received
n good rebuke. lie was a poet, who
read TO the celebrated Jami gael OF
his own composition, which Jami did
not like.
The writer Gontended that IL was a
very curious sonnet, for the letter Alif
