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,
Andre 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.
