A review by mallory_minerva
Sappho by Mary Barnard, Sappho, Dudley Fitts

funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

4.0

Sappho's lyric style was quite plain and blunt, much less elegant than the other surviving lyric poets. This probably made her more striking at the time, but today she is easily the most accessible of the Greek lyric poets. She almost reminds me of Haiku with the smaller fragments. I can recommend this to anyone who likes poetry or classical antiquety.
