Description
This bilingual edition presents the fragments of Sappho's work, translated by Anne Carson. The Greek text is accompanied by English translations, with brackets and spaces used to indicate what is absent from the papyrus.
The surviving fragments of Sappho's lyrics offer a glimpse into her reflections on love, desire, marriage, exile, and other aspects of human experience. This collection illuminates the poet's thoughts on the complexities of life, from the comfort of home to the passing of time.
With Carson's translation, the reader can experience the beauty and depth of Sappho's poetry, even in its fragmented form. This edition is a unique opportunity to engage with the work of one of ancient Greece's most celebrated poets.
