Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fresh and comprehensive look at the life and works of Sappho, the celebrated Greek poetess who lived in the 7th century BCE. The author takes readers on a journey through the poet's life, exploring the limited historical details available while piecing together a picture of Sappho's world and her place in the vibrant cultural landscape of Ancient Greece. The book delves into the complexities of Sappho's life and her relationship with her contemporaries, including the prominent poets Alcaeus and Anacreon. It examines the challenges of reconstructing her legacy through the fragmented poems that have survived and explores the enduring impact of Sappho's writing on poets throughout history. The book ultimately sheds light on Sappho's unique contribution to lyrical poetry, highlighting her bold expression of passion and her exploration of the full spectrum of human emotion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
