"In this expanded edition of his distinguished Sappho: Poems and
Fragments (2002), Stanley Lombardo offers over 100 fragments not
included in the original edition, as well as the new poems
discovered in 2004 and 2014. His translation of this latter
material yields fresh insights into Sappho's representations of old
age, two of her brothers, and her special relationship with
Aphrodite. Pamela Gordon's engaging, balanced, and informative
Introduction has been revised to incorporate discussion of the new
fragments, which subtly alter our previous understanding of the
archaic poet's corpus. Complete Poems and Fragments also offers a
useful updated bibliography, as well as a section on 'Elegiac
Sappho' that presents the reception of the Lesbian poet in later
Greek and Latin elegiac poems. A wonderful find for any Greekless
reader searching for a complete and up-to-date Sappho. -Patricia A.
