Sappho shines in this rare gem,
By
This review is from: The songs of Sappho
I thoroughly enjoyed this edition of Sappho's poetry, which I found buried in a used bookstore. This edition, my introduction to Sappho's gorgeous verse, includes one hundred and twenty four of Sappho's fragments and songs, many of them with more than one translation included.This edition also contains beautiful illustrations by Stanley Wyatt who emulates a Greek style. They are well done and complement the poetry well. Sappho's poetry, even in its fragmentary form is quite beautiful. It is no wonder that her poetry has survived to this day. In her time, and for many centuries following, she was considered great, even on the level of Homer and it is well deserved. |
