Review

And Aphrodite Said
And One For His Mistress
And Since You Are My Friend
And You, My Dika, Crown Your Lovely Locks With Garlands
Another To The Same
As A Hyacinth In The Mountains That Men Shepherding
As A Poet Of Lesbos Surpasses Foreigners
As A Sweet Apple Reddens
As The Stars Surrounding The Lovely Moon Will
Beauty Is Beauty Only While You Gaze On It
But Attis, To You The Thought Of Me Grows
But I'm Not One Of Those With A Resentful
But Intricate Sandals
But Stand Before Me, If You Are My Friend
Certainly Now They've Had Quite Enough
Close Beside Me Now As I Pray Appearing
Come Now, My Holy Lyre
Come To Me Now, You Delicate Graces And You Fairtressed Muses
Come To Me Once More, O Your Muses, Leaving Golden
Cretan Women Once Danced This Way
Delicate Girl, In The Old Days
Do I Really Still Long For Virginity?
Don't You Remember
Earth With Her Many Garlands
Eros Arrived From Heaven Wrapped In A Purple Mantle
Eros The Limb-loosener Shakes Me Again
Eros, Weaver Of Tales
Far More Melodious Than The Lyre
Farewell, O Bride, Farewell O Honored Groom, Farewell
The Feet Of The Doorkeeper
Fool, Don't Try To Bend A Stubborn Heart
For Me
For My Mother Said
For They Say That Leda Once Found A Hyacinth
For You, O Bridegroom, There Was Never Another Girl Like This One
Fortunate Bridegroom, Now The Marriage That You Prayed For
Goddess, I Spoke With You In A Dream
Golden Chickpeas Grew Along The Shore
Gongyla
He Is Dying, Cytherea, Adonis This Delicate. What Shall We Do?
Hekate, The Shining Gold Attendant Of Aphrodite
Honestly, I Would Like To Die.'
Hope Of Love
I Don't Expect To Touch The Sky With My Two Hands
I Don't Know What To Do. I Have Two Thoughts
I Have A Beautiful Little Girl: The Golden Flowers
I Miss You And Yearn After You
I Think That Someone Will Remember Us In Another Time
I Was In Love With You, Atis, Once, Long Ago
I Will Let My Body
In Answer To Alcaeus
In My Eyes He Matches The Gods, That Man Who
In My Season I Used To Weave Love Garlands
In The House Of The Muses' Servants
Just Now Dawn In Her Golden Sandals
Let Me Wish The Child Of The House Of Polyanax
Lift High The Roofbeam
Like A Child To Her Mother I Have Flown To You
Lyric; Three Versions: 1
Maidens
The Marriage Of Hektor And Andromache
May The Winds And Worries Bear Off The One Who
May You Sleep Upon Your Gentle Companion's Breast
Mingled With Colors Of Every Kind
Mistress Dawn
The Moon Appeared In All Her Fullness
Most Beautiful Of All The Stars
Never Yet, O Irana, Have I Found
Not One Girl, I Think, Will Ever Look On The Sunlight
Now Leto And Niobe Were Very Dear Companions
Now To Delight My Women Friends
O Beautiful, O Graceful Girl
O Dream On Your Dark Wings
O Sappho, I Love You
O You Rosy-armed Graces, Hallowed Daughters Of Zeus, Be Here!
Over The Eyes Night's Black Slumber
Places Success On Your Lips
Please Abanthis, Your Sappho Calls You
Please, My Goddess, Goldencrowned Aphrodite
A Prayer For Charaxos
Sappho, Why Do You Summon Aphrodite
Sappho: A Garland
Sardis
Since Whomever
Some Say Thronging Cavalry, Some Say Foot Soldiers
Spring's Messenger, The Lovely Voiced Nightingale
Surely Once You Too Were A Delicate Child
'sweet Mother, I Can't Weave My Web
A Sweetvoiced Girl
A Tender Girl Picking Flowers
Then Love Shook My Heart Like The Wind That Falls On
There A Bowl Of Ambrosia
These Are Timas's Ashes: On The Threshold Of Her Marriage
They Have Honored Me With The Gift Of
Though It Isn't Easy For Us To Rival
Throws Peace Into Turmoil
To Andromeda
To Cyprian Aphrodite
To Phoibos The Goldenhaired Whom Koios' Daughter Bore
To What Shall I Best Liken You, Dear Bridegroom?
Toward You Beautiful Girls My Thoughts
'virginity, Virginity, Where Have You Gone And Left Me?'
We Will Give Her, Her Father Says
Wealth Without Virtue Is No Harmless Neighbor
When Anger Spreads Inside You Breast
When Nightlong Slumber Closes Their Eyes
When The Pigeons' Spirits Grow Cold They Let Their
Whether Cyprus Keeps You Or Paphos Or Panormos
Why, O Irana, Does Pandion's Daughter The Swallow
With What Eyes?
You Came, And I Was Mad To Have You
You Have Forgotten Me
