Poems: A New Version

Sappho; Willis Barnstone

Synopsis:
This edition reintroduces Sappho to the modern reader, providing a vivid, contemporary translation, which captures the spareness and the intensity of Sappho's line. The wondrous Mary Barnard translation was based, unfortunately, on the 1928 Loeb edition by J. M. Edmonds, who filled in many of Sappho's fragments with his own Creek lines. In Professor Barnstone's brilliant translation, Sappho's work is presented as we have inherited it, in its darkly anti-romantic idiom that rejects sentimentality and "prettiness."

The Love Songs of Sappho

Sappho; Paul Roche

Synopsis:
Called the "Tenth Muse" by the ancients, Greece's greatest female lyric poet Sappho (ca. 610-580 B.C.E.) spent the majority of her life on the famed island of Lesbos. Passionate and breathtaking, her poems survive only in fragments, following religious conspiracies to silence her. This excellent translation includes Roche's brilliant essay, "Portrait of Sappho". Illustrations.
