Extensive notes, a glossary, and testimonia from Sappho's admirers and critics from Plato to Plutarch. From the publisher's blurb, " "Though time has reduced the nine volumes of her work to a handful of complete poems and a collection of fragments, each word and phrase that survives is poignantly significant. The clarity of her voice, its absolute candor, its amazingly fresh authority - whether in addressing a goddess, dancers before a light altar, the moon and stars, a sweet apple or mountain hyacinth, a lamb or cricket, a love or companion - are qualities that compel us today as in antiquity. Willis Barnstone has given us a close and beautifully lyrical translation, with the original Greek on facing pages, that includes a dozen hitherto unintelligible fragments that have been brought vibrantly back to life by him, as well as Sappho's newly discovered poem from the Cologne papyrus in its complete form. The book also contains the translator's essay placing the poet in her historic and artistic context; a glossary; extensive notes; an epilogue and metrical guide by William E. McCulloh, Professor Emeritus of Classics at Kenyon College; and a special section of testimonia; appreciations of Sappho in the words of her ancient admirers." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xlix [1], 2-316 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
