Inhaltsangabe

The hundred poems and fragments here translated into modern English constitute virtually all of Sappho that survives, and effectively bring to life the woman whom the Greeks consider to be their greatest lyric poet. Sappho gives us flashes of vivid comment and description – forthright attacks on her enemies, dialogues with her friends, and exasperated exchanges with Aphrodite, the goddess who was both enemy and ally. The poems are highly personal and emotional portrayals of the world she lived in twenty-five hundred years ago. Mary Barnard's translations are lean, incisive, direct. As a result, she has rendered the beloved poet's verse, long the bane of translators, more authentically than anyone else in English.
