This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II SOME OF SAPPHO'S CONTEMPORARIES AFTER the heroic or legendary period of Greek history, of which Homer and Hesiod are the chief exponents, and which ended about the beginning of the first Olympiad, there came a period which extended over three centuries, in which the real thought-life of the Greeks properly speaking begins. The Greek mind is awakening. It is a time of great political disturbances; the heroic monarchy by right divine becomes the oligarchy, the oligarchy the tyranny, and the tyranny is in many cases succeeded by the democracy or constitutional monarchy. Colonization from the mother cities of Greece has begun in Italy, Sicily, Africa, along the Gulf of Lyons, in Asia Minor, and the islands of the ALgean. The law-givers arise; Thebes receives a constitution, and Lycurgos and Solon form the states of Sparta and Athens. The Seven Sages are foremost in diffusing wisdom throughout the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean. The epic is being supplanted by the beginnings of lyric, satiric, moral, and philosophic poetry. Prose begins to be cultivated, and the drama has its inception, although the poets are the leaders in the thought of the Greeks until the era of Sokrates. No great light ever appears alone, but there are always lesser lights before and after, like the dawn and twilight of a full day; Sappho was a genius, but she was not the only one of her age, and had many renowned contemporaries. In speaking of them we wish to include those who immediately preceded and followed her, and those who prefigured the life of her day or were the product of it.

More or less 150 years after Homer's Iliad, Sappho lived on the island of Lesbos, west off the coast of what is present Turkey. Little remains today of her writings, which are said to have filled nine papyrus rolls in the great library at Alexandria some 500 years after her death. The surviving texts consist of a lamentably small and fragmented body of lyric poetry - among them poems of invocation, desire, spite, celebration, resignation and remembrance - that nevertheless enables us to hear the living voice of the poet Plato called the tenth Muse. This is a new translation of her surviving poetry.

Sappho, the earliest and most famous Greek woman poet, sang her songs around 600 BCE on the island of Lesbos. Of what survives from the approximately nine papyrus scrolls collected in antiquity, all is translated here: substantial poems and fragments, including three poems discovered in the last two decades. The power of Sappho's poetry ‒ her direct style, rich imagery, and passion ‒ is apparent even in these remnants. Diane Rayor's translations of Greek poetry are graceful, modern in diction yet faithful to the originals. Sappho's voice is heard in these poems about love, friendship, rivalry, and family. In the introduction and notes, André Lardinois plausibly reconstructs Sappho's life and work, the performance of her songs, and how these fragments survived. This second edition incorporates thirty-two more fragments primarily based on Camillo Neri's 2021 Greek edition and revisions of over seventy fragments.

Born around 630BC on the Greek island of Lesbos, Sappho is now regarded as the greatest lyrical poet of ancient Greece, ironic and passionate, capturing the troubled depths of love. Her work survives only in fragments, yet her influence extends throughout Western literature, fuelled by the speculations and romances which have gathered around her name, her story and her sexuality.This remarkable anthology brilliantly displays the way different periods have taken up Sappho's haunting story bringing together many different kinds of work. We see her image change, re-created in Ovid's poetry and Boccaccio's tales, in translations by Pope, Rossetti and Swinburne, Baudelaire, in the modern versions of Eavan Boland, Ruth Padel and Jeanette Winterson.

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.
