Sweet-Voiced Sappho: Some of the Extant Poems of Sappho of Lesbos and Other Ancient Greek Poems translated into English verse by Theodore Stephanides

In this dual-language volume Anthony Hirst has brought together for publication - the first publication in nearly every case - all of Theodore Stephanides' translations of Ancient Greek poetry, consisting chiefly of consummate examples of personal or choral lyric created by Sappho in the seventh or sixth century BC. Stephanides, who is associated with the island of Corfu, off the Greek mainland, echoes the work Sappho of Lesbos, an Island off the cost of Asia Minor, not far from luxurious Sardis, the Lydian capital (which figures in these poems). Known later as the "Tenth Muse", Sappho was to lyric poetry what Homer was to epic: while Homer sang of men and the slaughter of war, Sappho's songs are of beauty, women and nature; desire. jealousies and rapture; youth, loves and life; but also of old age, memories and death.
