Description
Sappho: A New Translation of the Complete Works This collection brings together the surviving poems and fragments of Sappho, the earliest and most famous Greek woman poet, who sang on the island of Lesbos around 600 BCE. The translations, by Diane Rayor, capture the power and passion of Sappho's poetry, with its direct style and rich imagery. The introduction and notes by André Lardinois provide a plausible reconstruction of Sappho's life and work, as well as the performance of her songs and the survival of the fragments. This second edition includes thirty-two additional fragments, primarily based on Camillo Neri's 2021 Greek edition, and revisions of over seventy fragments. The result is a comprehensive and authoritative collection that offers a unique insight into the life and poetry of this remarkable ancient Greek poet.
