Synopsis
Ancient writers were united in declaring that Sappho was an important poet. Her work is today known principally by reputation and fragments hint at what has been lost. This new translation aims to avoid controversy and to be a pure interpretation and it is a fine presentation of Sappho's lyrical verse.

About the Author
Mary Barnard studied Greek at Reed College and began to translate at Ezra Pound's instigation in the 1930s. Her Assault on Mount Helicon: A Literary Memoir was published by the University of California Press in 1984. Two years later she received the Western States Book Award for her book-length poem, Time and the White Tigress. She has also published prose fiction and a volume of essays on mythology as well as the original lyrics gathered in Collected Poems, 1979.
