Description
Sappho (c. 630-c. 570 BC) was an Archaic Greek poet from the island of Lesbos famous for her lyric poetry. Also known by such names as the Tenth Muse and The Poetess, Sappho was a prolific poet widely regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets of ancient times. As well as an extraordinary poet, she also represents a symbol of romantic love between women, the word lesbian and sapphic originating from her name and home island. The majority of Sapphos work is lost and what remains only does so as fragments. Despite this, her work has and continues to influence that of others significantly. This pocket-sized volume contains 45 of Sapphos existing poems and fragments, translated and interpreted by John Myres OHara and Henry de Vere Stacpoole. Contents include: An Introduction by H. De Vere Stacpoole, Sapphics by Algernon Charles Swinburne, Poems Translated by John Myres Ohara, and Fragments Translated by Henry De Vere Stacpoole. Wine Dark Press is proudly publishing this brand new collection of classic poems, now complete with an introductory essay by Charles Swinburne.
