Description:
University of California Press, 1995 Book. As New. Soft cover. Peter Green recreates the life and times of the Greek lyric poet Sappho in this beautifully conceived, sharply detailed work of historical imagination. We meet Sappho at the age of fifty, when she is shaken by her fatal and final love affair with Phaon. She narrates her own story from the vantage point of self-questioning middle age, and her candid meditations make intimate, engrossing reading. Only fragments of Sappho's poetry survive. In imagining Sappho's life Green found his task " rather like that of an archaeologist reassembling some amphora from hundreds of shards of which more than half are missing. " 273p. maps, chronology..
