Product Description

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.

Complex fundamentals5
For romantic (sic) readers this volume is excellent. It provides a good overview of Sappho and her writing and presents her remaining fragments very well.

After watching 'Shirley Valentine' read Sappho to understand the complex fundamentals of (Greek) love.
