Description:Called the "Tenth Muse" by the ancients, Greece's greatest female lyric poet Sappho (ca. 610-580 b.c.e.) spent the majority of her life on the famed island of Lesbos. Passionate and breathtaking, Sappho's poems survive only in fragments following religious conspiracies to silence her. Sappho penned immortal verse on the intense power of the female libido; on the themes of romance, love, yearning, heartbreak, and personal relationships with women. This work retains the standard numerical order of the fragments and has been arranged in six sections. Distinguished poet and lecturer Paul Roche’s translation of The Love Songs of Sappho is enhanced with his brilliant essay, “Portrait of Sappho,” as well as a lucid historical introduction by celebrated feminist and classicist Page duBois.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
