4.4(463)

This selection of Sappho’s poetry presents lyric fragments concerned with desire, memory, song, the gods, women’s voices and the intense physical experience of love. The book belongs to archaic Greek lyric culture, where performance, ritual and personal emotion survive only in fragmentary but powerful form.
