Items related to Sappho
Ancient writers were united in declaring that Sappho was an important poet. Her work is today known principally by reputation and fragments hint at what has been lost. This new translation aims to avoid controversy and to be a pure interpretation and it is a fine presentation of Sappho's lyrical verse.
