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.

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.

Winner of the 2023 Gourmand Cookbook Award for Greece in the Women Category Imaginatively interweaving literatures across a variety of subjects, Sappho's Legacy identifies the crucial role that islands and Greek economic culture play in teaching about capitalism's failures and alternatives. Marina Karides delivers a historical and ethnographic account of food cooperatives and microenterprises on the Greek island of Lesvos following the 2008 financial crisis to reveal the success stories of grassroots, traditional, and community-centered economics organized by people marginalized on the basis of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity. Karides offers hope to others who are working against the tide of neoliberalism and heteropatriarchy to develop alternative or convivial economic practices that serve communities by providing a trail of rhythms from ancient times to the present that showcase Greece's historical resistance.

Love Speaks is a collection of poems written in the village of Eressos, on Lesvos Island in Greece, the place where the great poetess Sappho, lived, loved and worked. Love speaks to you through so many voices. Sometimes you hear her whisper in the sound of the wind passing through the trees. Another time, she awakens you with the song of a bird. She may talk to you through the words of a stranger, your Beloved, a poet or a saint. She may pierce your heart with your own voice, or with the silence that shies away from all thought and language.

The Poems of Sappho Sappho - Sappho is widely recognized as one of the great poets of world literature, an author whose works have caused her readers to repeat in many different forms Strabo's amazed epithet when he wrote that she could only be called "a marvel."The reception of Sappho's poetry even through the twentieth century offers a case study of the conflicts induced by the sexual preferences she seemingly alludes to in her verse.Little is known with certainty about the life of Sappho, or Psappha in her native Aeolic dialect. She was born probably about 620 B.C. to an aristocratic family on the island of Lesbos during a great cultural flowering in the area.In antiquity Sappho was regularly counted among the greatest of poets and was often referred to as "the Poetess," just as Homer was called "the Poet.Praised for their simplicity and sincerity, the poems of Sappho evoke powerful and memorable images through her focus on emotion and individualism that foreshadows modern poetry.

This is the first complete collection of the works of the poetess Sappho. Containing the known history of the author. No other collection like this exists in a single book.Sappho (c. 630 - c. 570 BC) was an archaic Greek poet from the island of Lesbos. Sappho is known for her lyric poetry, written to be sung and accompanied by a lyre. Most of Sappho's poetry is now lost, and what is extant has survived only in fragmentary form, except for one complete poem - the "Ode to Aphrodite". As well as lyric poetry, ancient commentators claimed that Sappho wrote elegiac and iambic poetry. Three epigrams attributed to Sappho are extant, but these are actually Hellenistic imitations of Sappho's style.Little is known of Sappho's life. She was from a wealthy family from Lesbos, though the names of both of her parents are uncertain. Ancient sources say that she had three brothers; the names of two of them are mentioned in the Brothers Poem discovered in 2014. She was exiled to Sicily around 600 BC, and may have continued to work until around 570. Later legends surrounding Sappho's love for the ferryman Phaon and her death are unreliable.Sappho was a prolific poet, probably composing around 10,000 lines. Her poetry was well-known and greatly admired through much of antiquity, and she was among the canon of nine lyric poets, most highly esteemed by scholars of Hellenistic Alexandria. Sappho's poetry is still considered extraordinary and her works continue to influence other writers. Beyond her poetry, she is well known as a symbol of love and desire between women.
