Summary
All that survives of Sappho of Lesbos (c.7th- 6th century B.C.E.) is one full poem and scattered remnants (73 in all). This book collects them and adds an introduction by Susan Gordon. Some Sapphian fragments: "and for you I make an offering of a white goat"; "For me neither honey nor the honey bee"; "I do not know what to do; I am of two minds"; "Do I still put on virginity?"; "in my dripping pain/may aching winds carry off my enemy." Bibliographical notes on ancient sources of Sappho's work end the volume. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
