Sappho was born into the aristocracy of 7th century B.C. Lesbos. Nine scrolls of her works were recorded in the great library of Alexandria but much of her prolific legacy was burnt by zealous Christian leaders in medieval times. What remains comes to us from the quotes of early commentators who revered her talent: one complete poem (The Hymn to Aphrodite), three incomplete poems and over 170 fragments, many just single words. They are expressions of friendship, rivalry, family, and the exquisite rapture and pain of love. This edition contains the most intact poems and fragments together with Ovid’s Heroic Epistle XV, Sappho to Phaon.
In Stacpoole’s words, "the spangled thread" of Sappho’s mind echoes down through the ages and continues to delight us today.
